Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a pleasant stay with clean and nicely furnished rooms and incredibly friendly service. However, the rooms need refurbishment and some service issues were noted. The location provides a dream vacation feel, but arranging taxis through the hotel may not be the most cost-effective option.
