I found the hotel to have a fantastic beachfront location and excellent spa facilities that truly enhanced my stay. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout my visit, making me feel well taken care of. Unfortunately, the dining experience was quite a letdown, particularly with the rushed service and disappointing food quality. Overall, I'd recommend the hotel for the location and amenities, but I suggest dining elsewhere for better meals.
