I absolutely loved my stay here! The location is perfect—close to everything you might need. The staff were amazing: incredibly supportive, welcoming, and genuinely protective of their guests. I would definitely love to stay here again! I do wish I had the opportunity to visit their beach, but it was undergoing renovations during my stay. Thankfully, the pool more than made up for it.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and nice, food was great. My only issue was there was a musty smell in the corridors and the room, it was super strong. The room also felt old and the air conditioning was quite loud. Other than that the hotel was good. As I was only staying 2 nights, I didn’t report the smell.
