I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the hotel had some appealing aspects, such as spacious rooms and a lovely beach view, there were definitely some drawbacks too. The cleanliness of the facilities left much to be desired, and the noise from the building site nearby made for an unpleasant experience. The staff were friendly, which helped balance out some of the negatives.

I have been returning to this hotel for years, enjoying its unique charm right on the beach. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and it feels like one of the few family-run places left. However, the rooms do need some updates and could be cleaner, but the beach access is unbeatable which makes up for it.

While the rooms are generally clean, they feel a bit outdated and could use a thorough refresh. The charm is there, but it's not as pristine as one might hope.

My family and I were a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised by our stay. The beachfront location was perfect for us, and the room had a lovely view from the balcony. However, the hotel could use some updates, and the service was inconsistent. Overall, it was a good value for the price we paid, but a few improvements would elevate the experience.
