Really good Experience

clean roomgreat water pressurestylish lobbyslow service

The room was a good size and very clean. I found the shower's water pressure excellent. The stylish lobby and entrance created a cute first impression. The restaurant had enough options to choose from (that was important to me).

The dinner service was slow and the food quality was not consistent with the price. (I think some dishes were better than others).

Dining

8/10

The restaurant offers a selection of dishes. The staff are attentive to accommodate special requests, but the service can be slow during busy times, so planning is advisable if you have an event.

Facilities

The communal areas are modern and provide a cozy space for relaxation. There is outside space with greenery, and it is close to the beach, which allows walking. There is also a nice selection of beverages at the bar.
