My stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were great, very clean, with comfortable beds and offered a great view. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was wonderful, right next to the bay. However, the dining experience was somewhat disappointing with limited options. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.

Staying on the 4th floor of this hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious and had 2 king beds with fantastic views of the beach. However, it was quite muggy and damp, and the noise levels were a bit bothersome. The overall cleanliness and modern design were impressive, though.
