I had a decent stay at this hotel with clean and spacious rooms, plus a nice view from my balcony. The location was quite pleasant, being in a quiet area but still close enough to the old town. However, the breakfast spread didn't meet my expectations, and I found the overall dining options a bit lacking. The amenities were good, but I thought the price for the Wi-Fi was a downside.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, located in a quiet neighborhood but still close enough to the beach and the old town area. The rooms were both spacious and modern. However, the dining experience left something to be desired since the breakfast choices were limited. While the facilities were decent, I felt a bit more could have been offered. Overall, the price was reasonable for what we got, even though there was a minor issue with the Wi-Fi not being included.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is situated in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by beautiful subtropical gardens. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. The dining options were tasty but could definitely use more variety, especially during breakfast. While the facilities were nice, including a relaxing pool area, I found the value for money could be better considering the extra charges for Wi-Fi.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I must say, the experience was quite pleasant. The location allowed easy access to the old town area which was charming, but I found the dining options a bit underwhelming. The rooms were clean, but a touch on the smaller side. Overall, it was good value for money, but I wish there were more dining choices available.
