My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was rather small but offered a nice view of the sea and a little balcony to enjoy. Unfortunately, the internet connection was very poor, the mini fridge didn't work, and the kitchen lacked proper equipment. The price was $38 higher than expected. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff going the extra mile to make my stay pleasant. The location was beautiful, especially with the former 'Pirates of the Caribbean' cottages nearby. The dining experience, though not from the hotel itself but from a restaurant inside, was insufficient and overpriced. The facilities were decent. Overall, the value for money was questionable.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room had a nice view of the sea and a little balcony to sit on, although it was a bit pricier than expected. The convenient location right next to the open bar and restaurant on the beach made up for it, giving a cozy cottage feel right by the water.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the hotel. While the room was initially below par, after addressing the issue, I was moved to a better room with a stunning view of the beach and pier. However, the bed was not as comfortable as expected. The service was exceptional, with the staff being extremely helpful, kind, and respectful. The location was breathtaking, surrounded by beautiful scenery and in a safe area. The dining options were limited and expensive, but the facilities were satisfactory.
