I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect, just a stone's throw from the beach and a short walk to charming little eateries. The rooms were spotlessly clean and really comfortable, which made relaxing after a day out a breeze. On the downside, the breakfast selections were a bit lacking, and the Wi-Fi was a paid feature, which was disappointing. All in all, great value for the price, despite those few hiccups.
