I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, as the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with any questions I had. The location was perfect because it provided easy access to a private beach, which was nearly deserted and offered stunning sunset views. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning, featuring fresh fruit and a variety of delightful dishes, and the well-maintained grounds were a pleasure to explore.
