My family and I had high hopes for this hotel, but our experience didn't quite match the expectations. While the pool area was enjoyable and perfect for our little ones, we encountered cleanliness issues that overshadowed our stay. The dining options were decent, but the overall service did not live up to the standards we expected from a resort spa. It's a shame, as the location was pretty good, but I wouldn't recommend this place based on our experience.

The hotel is in a nice area with quick access to the beach, and the rooms are clean and well-kept. The staff was very helpful, making check-in easy. However, the added resort and parking fees can make it feel overpriced. The beach access isn't ideal, as it's across a busy road and has some rocky areas, so exploring other beach options is necessary.

The hotel has a beautiful entrance and well-maintained outdoor areas, including a lovely pool which was perfect for relaxation. However, there were issues with the front desk staff and unexpected challenges with beach access. While the room was spacious, it wasn't available until much later than promised, leading to a frustrating check-in experience.

I recently stayed at this resort, and while I enjoyed the clean and comfortable rooms, the dining experience fell short of my expectations. The pool area was large and well-kept, making it a pleasant place to unwind. However, I was disappointed by the lack of sandy beach access and the overall limitations on the resort's amenities due to the pandemic restrictions.
