Family staycation
04 May 2026
We had a smooth check-in and check-out experience, which set the tone for our stay. A lovely surprise was the complimentary slice of cake for my husband’s birthday — such a thoughtful gesture! The hotel staff were friendly, professional, and well-spoken, making us feel welcome throughout.We stayed in a high-level deluxe room. While the room was clean and comfortable, some of the furniture showed signs of wear and the curtain was torn. There was also a faint smell of cigarette smoke in the bathroom, despite it being a non-smoking room. Housekeeping responded promptly and helped freshen the space, which we appreciated.The beach was easily accessible through the hotel and generally well-maintained, offering a nice spot to relax. The indoor pool is on the smaller side, but it was pleasant and sufficient for guests.
