I really enjoyed my stay at this boutique hotel! The location is amazing, just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for lazy days in the sun. The rooms were neat and comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially when it came to breakfast. Overall, the hotel offered good value for money, although I wished the Wi-Fi was complimentary rather than an extra cost.

I had a pretty good time at this boutique hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the location is just a short walk to the beach, which I absolutely loved. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, particularly for breakfast, as it was quite limited. The amenities were above average, but I think the pricing could have included Wi-Fi since it was an extra charge.
