I had a great time at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and had amazing sea views, though the layout with single beds was a bit unusual. The service was fantastic, with efficient and friendly staff. The location was good by the sea but required a car to explore further. The dining experience had some ups and downs with limited options, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
