I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just steps away from the Waterbar and near the beach. The rooms come with a kitchen and offer a beautiful view, but it was a bit quiet for my liking. The service was exceptional with great housekeeping and laundry services. I enjoyed delicious pasta at the restaurant, although I wish there were more dining options. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay comfortable and convenient.

The hotel had a stunning location, right across the alley from the Waterbar and a stone's throw away from the beach, offering easy access to both. The rooms were spacious and modern, with a kitchenette and a breathtaking view of the water, making the stay incredibly comfortable. However, the pricing was a bit on the higher side, impacting the overall value for money. The hotel's facilities were top-notch, especially the gym and spa services available on-site.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, being steps away from the Waterbar and with the beach right on my doorstep. The rooms were spacious and modern, equipped with a handy kitchenette and boasting breathtaking ocean views. The service was top-notch, with housekeeping always keeping everything spotless. However, the lack of a diverse dining menu was a drawback along with the slightly high price point.

The hotel is perfectly located right on the beachfront with a stunning outdoor patio on the boardwalk, offering a great view and easy access to the beach. The rooms are spacious, modern, and incredibly clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, making them very comfortable. The service was top-notch, especially with efficient housekeeping and laundry service. However, the dining options were limited, particularly with homemade soups only available, and the value for money might not be the best for some visitors.
