I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach and close to various restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited breakfast options. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-kept and provided a relaxing atmosphere. The pricing was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included in the room rate.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel located right on the beach with stunning views. The rooms were spacious, clean, and offered a balcony on the upper level. The service was fantastic with convenient shops available. However, the price for the Summit was a bit high, though it was great to see lower prices now. The dining experience with freshly baked European bread was a highlight. The facilities were top-notch, providing a luxurious and comfortable atmosphere.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on the beach and close to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. However, the dining experience could be improved with more breakfast options. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-maintained and delightful. The price was reasonable, but it would have been nicer if Wi-Fi was included.
