I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the well-maintained pool and friendly staff. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and some nice restaurants. However, the dining options were a bit repetitive and could use some variety. Overall, it provided good value for money, but the mattresses in the rooms could be improved for a more comfortable sleep.

Overall, it's not a bad place for a family with kids, but there are definitely some areas that need a bit more attention.
