5.6/10

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach, and the cottages are clean and spacious. However, the price I paid felt far too high for the quality of the accommodations, and the services I received were subpar. The issues with the restaurant and the overall maintenance of the place made my stay less enjoyable than I had hoped.
