Wow, this hotel is a real gem! The rooms are spacious and modern, with the most comfortable beds. The friendly staff truly went above and beyond to make my stay extra special. However, there was an additional charge for the largest room available, which was a bit of a letdown. The location is absolutely breathtaking, overlooking the bay and just a short stroll to a gorgeous sandy beach.
