Really good Spa Services

During my stay, I indulged in the spa services offered at the hotel, and I must say, they were absolutely excellent! I especially appreciated the attention to my sunburn, which made my experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the spa treatments as a must-try when visiting Smiles Beach Hotel.

Delicious A La Carte Dinner

The dining experience at Smiles Beach Hotel was good! Each evening, I enjoyed a different a la carte menu, which was quite delicious. Although the breakfast could use some improvement, the variety offered for dinner made up for it. Dining right by the beach, with my toes in the sand, added a special touch to the experience.
