7.2/10

The hotel had excellent accommodations with great staff and was conveniently located right across from the beach, which was a significant plus for my vacation. However, I found the noise levels quite disruptive due to the surrounding bars and restaurants, and the check-in process took longer than expected. Overall, the comfort and amenities were a plus, but there are some improvements needed in terms of noise insulation and check-in efficiency.

I had a pleasant stay overall with some minor hiccups. The beach was easily accessible, and the location was fantastic with shopping and dining options nearby. However, the room next to the street was quite noisy, and the amenities, while decent, weren't upscale. Breakfast was traditional and enjoyable, adding a nice touch to my mornings.
