My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, with opportunities to connect with fellow travelers. I loved the beachfront location, but I ended up disappointed with the lack of advertised amenities and activities. The staff was wonderful, but some basic essentials were lacking, making it less than ideal for an extended stay.

The friendly staff and clean facilities made me feel welcome, but I do wish the noise levels were more manageable at night.
