I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel, which featured incredibly clean and modern rooms. The staff was attentive and provided excellent service, making my experience memorable. The location was very convenient, just a short walk from the beach and several dining options. However, I found the dining experience quite limited, particularly during breakfast. Overall, it offered great value for the price, but there's room for improvement in the dining area.
