Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location with beautiful scenery, but the dated infrastructure detracts from the overall experience. The room condition is disappointing with the need for significant updates, especially the bathroom. The service is poor, falling short of expectations for a high-standard establishment. However, the location offers convenient access to the airport and other attractions.
The hotel I stayed at had its ups and downs. Despite the size and smell of the room being not so pleasant, it was a good size. Unfortunately, the lack of hot water and cleanliness issues were a letdown. However, the staff were friendly and helpful, and they supplied fresh towels regularly. The location was a mix of opinions. It was far from the city, but lovely in the morning. The highlight was being close to the beach and airport. The dining experience was quite disappointing with limited options and early closure. The facilities were basic with a bit of room for improvement.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had some cleanliness issues upon arrival, but the bed was wide and clean. The service was polite but had some miscommunication about check-out time. The location was ideal for those seeking a quiet stay away from the city. The dining options were basic and lacked variety. The facilities were decent, but some improvement could be made.
