The hotel is in a beautiful location, a little out of town but right on the beach with stunning views. The rooms, although separate from the main building, were comfortable but very old with outdated furniture and bathrooms. The service was incredible with friendly and helpful staff who put effort into speaking English. The dining experience had a good variety of food, although it could have had a better selection. The facilities were practical and enjoyable, with easy parking area and spaceful rooms.
