My stay at the hotel was quite the mixed bag. While I enjoyed the clean and modern rooms as well as the attentive staff, there were definitely a few downsides, like the dining experience and the noise from the dining room in the mornings. The location made exploring local attractions easy, but overall the facilities could use some improvement.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel with exceptionally attentive staff and a beautifully maintained pool area. The rooms were lovely, but my second room was not as nice as the first, which was a bit disappointing. The dining experience had its ups and downs; breakfast was varied but could improve in some areas. Overall, the value for money was good, but there are still minor improvements needed.
