I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it has some appealing aspects, there are definitely areas for improvement. The rooms were clean and offered a nice view, though the layout of the bathroom was a bit odd. The service was noted for its friendliness, but the location felt overcrowded at times. Dining offered a good variety, yet it felt a bit chaotic during peak hours. Overall, it’s a decent place for the price, but don't expect luxury.

The hotel is situated in a great spot, just a stone's throw from Sanata Maria Village and features stunning views. My room was spotless but had a strange bathroom layout, and I faced some initial trouble with the key cards. While I appreciated the friendly staff, my encounter with them regarding a health issue was less than pleasant. Overall, it's a decent place with good value for money, but there are definitely some areas that could use improvement.

I stayed at this hotel for a few days, and overall, it was a good experience. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, and I had a lovely partial sea view from my room. Although the rooms were basic with limited amenities, they were kept spotlessly clean. I did have an issue with the key cards not working initially, but the staff resolved it quickly. The dining options were decent, but a bit repetitive during my stay. I enjoyed my time there, but there’s definitely room for improvement in some areas.
