I had a decent stay at the hotel with friendly service and a charming atmosphere. The beach area was hard to navigate due to large rocks, making walks challenging, but the location was great for getting around town. My room had a few issues, including a persistent sewage odor and noisy conditions, which detracted from my experience. The dining options were enjoyable, and the staff really made an effort to provide excellent service.
