I had an okay stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, but I had some issues with the shutters not staying closed. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my experience better. The location is beautiful and has some great amenities, but it’s a bit far from the main activities and transportation. Overall, it felt like good value for the price, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

The hotel had a great location with easy access to the bay, making it a lovely spot for a relaxing getaway. However, I faced some challenges with the cleanliness and condition of the rooms, which didn't match the online description at all. The service was a mixed bag—some staff were friendly, but I encountered a rude guest that put a damper on things. Overall, while it had potential, it definitely fell short in a few areas.
