The hotel had some really great aspects, like the spacious and clean rooms, along with friendly staff who were helpful most of the time. However, there were some issues like the slow service and cleanliness of certain areas. The location was convenient, being close to the beach and various attractions, but I had concerns about the path to get there, which wasn’t ideal for everyone.

I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and spacious the rooms were; they were among the best I've stayed in during my holidays. However, I did notice some burn marks on the floor and thought it could use a bit of updating.
Service

While most of the staff were great and very accommodating, I had a frustrating experience with one member who seemed unhelpful. The check-in service could also be more efficient, as we had a long wait during breakfast.
Location

The location was pretty convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the beautiful sandy beach, the water park, and the vibrant main strip filled with bars and restaurants. However, getting to the beach required navigating some tricky steps, which might be daunting for some.

Breakfast had a decent selection, with a wide variety of meats, salads, and baked goods. I enjoyed the range, but I felt the setup could be better organized for quicker service.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location is great, just a bit of a trek to the beach and other attractions. The room I stayed in was huge and came with plenty of amenities, but cleanliness was a real issue, as it wasn't cleaned at all during my stay. While the staff was generally friendly, one particular staff member really didn't help at all. Overall, this place has a lot of potential but definitely needs some attention to detail.

I stayed in a spacious double room which was full of amenities. Unfortunately, it was very dated and had burn marks on the floor. It didn't get cleaned once during my entire stay, and I had to fetch my own towels and toilet paper.

The dining options were pretty repetitive with not many choices. Breakfast was basic and lunch and dinner didn't offer much variation either. It felt like the same meals were served every day.
