Guests appreciated the great location of the hotel, close to the beach and restaurants, and many praised the friendly staff. However, there were significant complaints about the breakfast logistics, cleanliness, and the service at the pool. The noise from the air conditioning units and the lack of amenities like umbrellas and chairs for the beach were also mentioned as downsides.
