Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's beautiful location and scenic views, with many enjoying the proximity to the beach and tranquil atmosphere. Spacious rooms and comfortable beds were also highlighted as positives by several guests. However, there were frequent complaints about cleanliness issues, such as dirty rooms, bathrooms, and presence of ants. Many guests were disappointed with the lack of service, including poor communication, no reception staff, and closed restaurant and bar facilities. Overall, while the location and views are a major draw, improvements in cleanliness and service are needed.
