I recently enjoyed a two-night stay at this lovely hotel, where I received a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite that made my experience even better. The grounds are beautiful, but some areas seemed a bit dated. The breakfast provided a variety of choices, although some food quality could be improved. Overall, it was a delightful stay with just a few minor issues to address.

This hotel has a prime location right on the beach, which makes it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor facilities, including the pool and sports fields, are impressive, and the atmosphere is tranquil. However, the service could use improvement, especially in dining and responsiveness to maintenance issues. The rooms offer beautiful views, but some layouts feel awkward and cluttered, diminishing comfort a bit.
