The staff were amazing! They were very cute and kind. The hotel was clean. The view to the ocean from the room was beautiful.
The breakfast started too late. It should begin at 7:00. The lunch bags could be improved with healthier food. I think water should be an option instead of juice.

good ocean views and friendly service
vibrant colorsrelaxing pool areasfine sunsetinconsistent coffee machines
the gardens displayed vibrant colors and were well maintained. the pools included a modern option and a smaller jacuzzi. sunsets viewed from my room on the higher floor were especially fine. the promenade near the beach was easily accessible.
the coffee machines did not operate consistently. one machine served a full cup of well-flavored coffee during breakfast, but the others dispensed smaller, milkier servings later. requests to use the better machine throughout the day were denied, forcing me to use the less satisfactory options.
Dining
9/10
Food choices provided good variety. Multiple meat and fish options looked at each meal. cocktails included a varied selection. Drinks were available at both the tables and the bar. all-inclusive options featured breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dinner.
Facilities
8/10
the hotel offered complimentary shuttle services to the city center, running twice daily for convenient access. two operational pools existed in november, one designated for recreational use and another for lap swimming, along with a jacuzzi. nightly entertainment occurred and featured singers, musicians, and local folklore.
Rooms
9/10
the room included functional wooden furniture and sea views. the bathroom was relatively large. the balcony faced the sea and provided direct views of sunsets. a welcome bottle of wine awaited on arrival.
