I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel, which is ideally located right near the beach. The rooms were spotless and quite comfortable. The staff made me feel right at home. However, I found the dining experience lacking, particularly in variety at breakfast. The amenities are great, but I did find the Wi-Fi a bit sketchy, which wasn’t ideal for me.

I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, which is perfectly situated right on a stunning white sand beach. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable retreat. The service was generally attentive, although a bit slow at times. The dining options were decent, but the breakfast could use a bit more variety. All in all, I felt it was a good value for the price, especially given the gorgeous location.

I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, situated right on a stunning white sand beach. The rooms were comfortable, and I truly enjoyed the view from my balcony. One downside was the limited dining options, particularly at breakfast. The pool area added a nice touch to the experience, though, and I felt I got good value for my money overall.

However, I found the breakfast choices to be quite limited, which was disappointing. Overall, the hotel offered good value for money, but I think they could improve in the dining department.

I had a lovely time at this boutique hotel! The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, which made my stay enjoyable. The staff was genuinely welcoming, but I felt that the restaurant could have offered a wider variety of dining options. The beach was just steps away, providing beautiful views, although the dining experience didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Overall, I found it to be a good value for money.
