The hotel exceeded my expectations with its extraordinary location just above the picturesque swimming beach and in a safe area. The rooms were incredibly spacious, offering an extra-large balcony facing the water on the 14th floor with an awesome view. The friendly staff was attentive and accommodating, making my stay truly memorable. However, the dining experience was somewhat lacking in variety, and the price for the value offered was a bit on the higher side.
