    Great

    This hotel is perfectly situated near restaurants and shops, making it a convenient location for every budget traveller. The room service is excellent, with everything being clean and orderly at all times. The view from the hotel is breathtaking, perfect for vacation pictures and selfies. The leisure facilities are top-notch, offering a range of activities to keep guests entertained.

    The only downside is the restaurant staff, who can take a long time to acknowledge guests and seat them, causing unnecessary waiting time.

    The staff was amiable and the place was clean. This hotel was set in a central area really close to things to do, the beach. It also was in a beautiful setting. The cold drinks in pool bar were very welcome.

    The bed in my room was very uncomfortable.
