The hotel's location right by the beach made access super convenient—just a short walk from the sand, which was perfect for our relaxed seaside vibe.

However, we were surprised by the resort fee of over $40 per night, especially since amenities like sun loungers and umbrellas weren’t included. It felt a bit misleading at check-in, as we assumed those would be covered. That said, the overall service quality, clean rooms, and prime beachfront spot still make this a strong choice if you're looking for comfort and convenience with a touch of luxury. Worth it for the location and hospitality.
