I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean, and I loved having a jacuzzi right by the pool. The service was friendly, though they did try to upsell a bit too much at times. The location was good, but it could use a little more life. Dining options were decent, with good quality food available. Overall, it offered great value for money, even though there were a few hiccups.
