6.4/10

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location is absolutely perfect, right on the beach and easily accessible to fun activities. However, the rooms felt outdated and could definitely use some sprucing up. The service was a hit or miss, with one notable exception, but overall, it wasn't as friendly as I had hoped. Dining was quite slow, and I wish there were more options, but the pool area was nice and well-kept. Considering the drawbacks, I can’t say it was great value for money.

I stayed at this hotel for a 4-day weekend and enjoyed its convenient beachside location, which is perfect for families. The rooms had new furniture, but they don’t quite look like the pictures on the website. The staff was welcoming and attentive, but a few details, like air quality in unused rooms, could be improved. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a family getaway, but there are areas that need updating.

The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach, allowing for easy access to the sandy dunes. The rooms were spacious with a lovely fireplace, making it a comfortable choice for family relaxation. However, for the price, I expected a bit more flair in the room design. The staff was friendly and attentive, but I did experience a moment that felt uncomfortable regarding service. Overall, it's a nice place to stay, just keep expectations in check for certain aspects.

The hotel has a fantastic beachside location, making it easy to enjoy the sandy dunes right at your doorstep. The staff is friendly and very responsive, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the rooms are extremely small and unfortunately had a mildew smell, which was quite off-putting. The dining experience could also use some improvement with slow service and limited options for breakfast.
