I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, as it is ideally located just a short distance from the beach. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. While the dining options were somewhat limited—especially breakfast—everything else made for a pleasant experience. The beautiful pool area added to the stay, though Wi-Fi was an extra cost, which I found a bit inconvenient.

I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel, situated on a beautiful small beach that felt almost private. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was top-notch, with a range of activities available. However, the location is a bit far from the main tourist areas, which means you'll need to budget for transportation. The dining experience was limited, particularly at breakfast, compared to what I expected.
