I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had an amazing sea view and the terrace with a jacuzzi was a real highlight, but the service felt a bit inexperienced and could use more efficiency. The location right on the beach was fantastic, but it was frustrating not to have umbrella access. Dining was also a letdown with some expensive and unsatisfactory options. Overall, while there were great moments, a few areas need improvement.

Dining was a disappointment, especially with the expensive and terrible quality of some meals. The buffet was abundant but not the best; I ended up purchasing a guava jam that was decent.

Additionally, while the dining offered was abundant, some meals felt quite overpriced.
