5.8/10

Our stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the beach access was a bit complicated due to ongoing work, we still enjoyed our time relaxing by the seaside. The room was clean but had an odd smell, and the facilities felt dated and could use some upgrades. The staff tried their best to be helpful, especially during our encounters. However, some issues with the elevator significantly impacted our experience.

Service was variable; while some staff members were friendly, maintenance issues like the non-functioning elevator weren't communicated well.

Located supposedly right on the beach, but with restricted access due to construction, we had to navigate to find a way to the sand. Still, being close to the local area was a plus.
