Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location right on the beach, and it's within walking distance of the town center. The rooms were not as clean as expected, but the staff were friendly and accommodating. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the fresh ingredients added value to the meals.
The hotel's location is superb, right on the seafront and really close to the beach. The rooms were not properly cleaned, and there were no table or chairs, but the sink in the bedroom was convenient. The service, doubling as waiters, was a bit lacking. The dining experience included hand-pulled noodles but was overall disgraceful. Despite some downsides, being right across from the beach was a plus.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, just out of the busy town center and with a wonderful seafront view. The rooms were decent, but unfortunately, the sink in the bedroom for a table or chairs was not cleaned, and the beds were not made up. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who also doubled up as waiters. The dining experience was delightful with quality ingredients used, including regional bread. However, it would have been even better if the regional bread was included. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor room cleanliness issues.
