I had a great stay at this hotel! The location right on the Golden Mile beach is unbeatable, and my room had a gorgeous balcony with stunning views. The staff were super friendly and really made me feel welcome. However, there were a few hiccups with the service where I didn't hear back from the management as promised, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a comfortable visit, and I felt it offered good value for money.
