I had an interesting time at the hotel. The location is beautiful with a lovely beach nearby, and I found the atmosphere to be quite relaxing. However, the room was quite basic, lacking proper amenities like a fridge and safe deposit box, which were offered at an extra charge. The dining experience did not live up to expectations, especially for breakfast. Overall, there's potential here, but improvements are definitely needed.
