I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were large and very comfortable with an impressive rain shower. The service was top-notch thanks to the amazing chef and friendly staff who catered to every detail. However, I wish the dining options were a bit more varied for both breakfast and dinner. Overall, it was a delightful experience, but the lack of sea-view from the rooms was a bit of a letdown.

I had a lovely time at the hotel, especially appreciating how clean everything was each day. The rain shower in the room was powerful and refreshing. The service I received was exceptional, particularly from Evelyne and Haji, who made my experience feel even more special. However, I was a bit let down by the dining options, which could use more variety. The beachfront location is fantastic, offering beautiful views and easy access to the water.
