I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its great location, comfortably sized rooms, and friendly staff. The breakfast was a tasty and varied selection, but unfortunately, I found the service a bit overbearing at times. The facilities were impressive, especially the pool area, but the rooms could use some modernization to truly shine. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, especially considering its prime location.

The hotel has some ups and downs. The location is stunning with great sunset views, and the service is incredibly friendly and accommodating.
