Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is beautifully situated in a forest area that leads straight to a lovely beach. The rooms were spacious and clean with a luxurious feel, and the staff truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. On the downside, while the dining options were decent, they could use a bit more variety, and I wish the Wi-Fi was complimentary. Overall, it’s great value for money!

However, the dining options could use some improvement, as breakfast was rather limited. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money, but just be prepared for some minor inconveniences.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is nestled in the nearby forest, offering a peaceful retreat. The rooms were spacious with large, clean windows, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. While the dining options were reasonably priced and included, the location was a bit far from the seaside, which was a downside for me. Overall, it was a good value for money despite the location issues.
