Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and very clean with lovely views of the coastline, but they didn't match the pictures shown for the superior room. The balcony provided a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean and peaceful sunsets, yet my room was quite loud at night due to its proximity to the elevator.
