The hotel boasts a stunning location near the beach and pier, making it convenient to reach various attractions. The rooms offer moderate comfort with a lovely balcony and sea view, but some areas could be improved. The service is attentive and includes a welcome drink, enhancing the overall experience. However, the dining could be more impressive with regard to the variety of dishes. The facilities are decent, catering to basic needs at a reasonable price point.
