My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was cozy but not as clean as I expected, although it was comfortable with a great water heater. The reception was nice at first, and the pricing was reasonable.

The dining experience was not great. The bed was not very comfortable, and there were noises from animals on the second-floor rooftop at night. The dining options were simple but sufficient for basic needs.

The chalet-style rooms at the hotel are very cozy but lack cleanliness, making the initial reception a bit underwhelming. The service, however, pleasantly surprised me with efficient handling of kitchen equipment issues and a generous ala-carte breakfast. The location is nice and cozy, perfect for easy resort exploration, with the added benefit of being near the beach. The dining experience was subpar due to uncomfortable beds and noise disturbances at night, yet there was some praise for serving a satisfying breakfast. Overall, the facilities are decent, but improvements in cleanliness would enhance the stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, just by the beach and some nice eateries, but the room cleanliness left much to be desired, especially for my grandpa who found it smelly. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff were friendly and helpful, others were not so much. The dining options were decent but could have had more variety. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, right by the beach and close to local restaurants, but the rooms were a bit pricey for their size. The staff were not the friendliest but did help us out with a kitchen equipment issue. The hotel's surroundings were nice, but it got a bit gloomy at night.

The hotel is placed in a nice and cozy location, offering a comfortable stay with friendly service but lacks quality dining options. The rooms were initially subpar in cleanliness and had a smell issue. The hotel is well located with lovely surroundings but needs to improve the dining experience.

The hotel is conveniently located near the public beach, perfect for easy access to the sea. The rooms are simple and clean, though a bit small for the price. The service is friendly but requires attention during buffet times. Dining options are basic but complete, with homemade pastries available. Overall, a good value for the price.

The hotel is nicely located near the beach with a cozy atmosphere. The rooms, although comfy and with a great water heater, need improvement in cleanliness as I encountered a lizard during my stay. The service was friendly and helpful, though the cook seemed to take it easy at times.

The hotel feels more like a cozy chalet, offering clean, comfortable, and beautiful rooms. While the basics are covered like changing sheets, there are areas that could be improved. The service was accommodating and sufficient, although not overly friendly. The location is lovely, near the sea, with a nice and cozy atmosphere. The dining experience was simple but complete, although it would benefit from more variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.
