Reviews and Ratings
Upon arriving at the hotel, I found the rooms to be decent despite the initial delay and simple decor. The sofa bed in the living room was a downside, but the replacement room came with breakfast. The staff seemed overwhelmed at times but remained friendly. The location offered relaxation by the sea, although accessing nearby places without a car could be inconvenient. The dining experience had its ups and downs, ranging from sublime to terrible. Despite some flaws, the hotel provided a relaxing stay with various facilities available.
My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were nice and comfortable with great air-conditioning, but they seemed a bit old and had a lingering smell. The service was top-notch, with staff always cleaning and preparing the hotel and beach with dedication. The location right beside the sea was perfect for a summer getaway, although it was a bit far from the nearby city. The facilities were well-maintained and offered some useful amenities.
The hotel has a great pool view, but the noise from the busy road and railway can be disturbing at times. The room's decor didn't quite match the overall style of the place, and the outdoor seating area lacked chairs.
