I had a lovely time at the hotel, especially considering its cleanliness and comfort. The staff was quite welcoming and always ready to assist. However, the breakfast offerings didn't quite meet my expectations, and I felt the dining could use a little more variety. On the plus side, the pool area was fantastic and well-kept. Overall, it offers great value for the price, even though Wi-Fi being an extra charge was a bit annoying.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near beautiful walking trails and a stunning beach. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, providing a cozy atmosphere. However, while the dining options were decent, I felt like there could have been more variety on the menu. The amenities were generally nice, but I did notice that parking was a bit limited at times.

The hotel offers a tranquil escape with clean and spacious rooms, plus a lovely pool area which was a highlight for me. The staff was welcoming, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially at breakfast, and the Wi-Fi was an additional cost which I found a bit frustrating.
