My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms, while a bit outdated, were still very comfortable and clean. The private sipping pool and huge outdoor sitting area with a view of the beach and sea were just amazing. The service was top-notch; the staff was extremely nice, hospitable, and always accommodating. The location couldn't have been better, right on the beach with a perfect sunset view and surrounded by great restaurants and attractions. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited food variety and disappointing coffee options.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with noisy and uncomfortable rooms that had a musty smell, but there is a gem on the ground floor boasting a private dipping pool and a large outdoor seating area with a beach and sea view. Service is generally polite, although some early morning disturbances were noted. The prime location in Station 2 provides easy access to restaurants, bars, and shopping areas, being right on the beach. However, the dining options were disappointing with limited variety, especially for the cost of the resort.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were cozy, clean, and huge, complete with a bathtub and hot and cold shower, but there was a bit of a smelly and disgusting issue. On the bright side, the rooms can comfortably accommodate up to 4 persons, which is great for families or groups.
