The hotel is located right on the beach, offering beautiful oceanfront views, though it's somewhat isolated, with nowhere within walking distance. The few restaurants on-site were great, although the Italian one required a dress code that I wasn't prepared for. Despite this, my stay was wonderful. The staff were incredibly attentive and quick to meet all of my needs, and the rooms were well-maintained and felt new, adding to the comfort. Overall, it was a perfect place for a quiet beachfront escape.
