The automatic toilets in the suite were quite special. service was really helpful. breakfast was good. It lacked the fantastic element, yet it was nice.
the hotel is really popular among families, something to keep in mind if you are seeking an adults-only stay.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
smooth check-indirty beachinfrequent cleaning
The room was spacious and had a beautiful view. The check-in process was smooth. I enjoyed a welcome drink.
The beach was not clean. It did not seem to be cleaned as often as other hotels nearby. This detracted from the experience. More attention to cleanliness would be appreciated.
