My stay at the hotel brought mixed feelings. The location was absolutely great, providing a perfect getaway. However, the rooms felt outdated for the price I paid, which didn't seem justified. The service varied, with some staff being friendly while others were lacking, and the dining experience didn’t quite live up to what I hoped either. Overall, while there are some nice aspects like the setting, it might not be worth the premium price considering the drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was quite an experience! The location is beautiful with a fantastic sea view, and the rooms were spacious, but I found the area near the window felt a bit empty and narrow. The service was a bit of a mixed bag; while most staff were fantastic, one was rather rude, which put a damper on my mood. Overall, it's a nice spot to relax, but improvements in service consistency would make it perfect.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The views from the room were absolutely stunning, especially during sunset, and the beach and pool areas were fabulous. However, the service left something to be desired, especially during checkout, which felt rushed.

My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I found the construction work a bit distracting, and it made the environment feel less luxurious than expected.
