I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, enjoying the stunning beach views and the great access to outdoor activities. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, offering modern decor that I really appreciated. The dining options, while convenient, could use a bit more variety, and some minor noise disruptions occurred during my stay. Overall, it felt like excellent value for the quality I received.
