I had a great stay at this hotel, which is located right on the beach and near some lovely local restaurants. The rooms were spacious enough for my family, and I appreciated the clean environment. However, I found the service lacking, as I had an issue with my room request and the dining options could use a bit of variety. Overall, it's a decent choice for families but there are definitely areas needing improvement.

I had a pretty decent stay at this hotel. The location was ideal with lots of food options nearby and easy access to different amenities. While the rooms were nice and clean, the lighting could use some improvement. The service was commendable, especially with Mr. Islam being really helpful.
