I had a mixed experience at this hotel.

The hotel boasts a beautiful location between two bays with stunning views, but unfortunately, my experience was marred by cleanliness and service issues.

While the hotel boasts a stunning corner view and a beautiful location for sunrises, we faced significant issues that impacted our overall enjoyment. The accommodations were clean, but the noise from the AC units made our stay less comfortable. Additionally, we had concerns about the security of our luggage when left in their care. Though the staff was mostly helpful, the experience left us with mixed feelings about returning.
