I had a lovely stay at this charming boutique hotel. It’s tucked away in a tranquil area, making it a peaceful retreat. The room was comfortable and clean, with great amenities, and the food was delicious — especially the pizza from the restaurant! On the downside, while the location was close to the beach, it was a bit farther from the main city attractions than I expected. Overall, it’s fantastic value for money, especially if you're looking to relax and enjoy some beach time.

This hotel is a charming boutique spot just a short walk from the beach. I loved the quiet atmosphere and the rooftop with jacuzzis and hammocks, making it perfect for relaxation. The breakfast was delicious with custom options, but I wish the dining menu had a bit more variety.
