Reviews
The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable — 100%. The location was also perfect — 100%. Services were of a very high standard.
Breakfast was a joy, and the restaurant team was outstanding. They greeted every guest warmly and genuinely helped make each morning a pleasant start to the day.
Everything about this hotel was exceptional. I will definitely return, and I strongly recommend staying here. It’s truly worth every cent.
Only negative is that there’s a live band playing at a nearby beach club from 8pm to around 10.50pm each night. Can’t get any rest until the set ends (even with ear plugs on). I had assumed that the live band was playing at a restaurant within the hotel as the music was so loud but the concierge clarified that it was from a nearby beach club and it’s because it’s summer. To be fair the music was nice but loud.
