We had a wonderful stay that really exceeded our expectations. The location is just a short stroll to the beach, making it super convenient for our family. The rooms were spacious and clean, and having two queen beds was a game-changer. While breakfast had a great variety, the sofa bed situation for our friends was quite disappointing-definitely not ideal for comfortable sleeping. Overall, it felt like a great value for our family vacation with the added bonus of well-kept facilities.
