    The hotel had a stunning ocean view and a beautiful garden. The deluxe room was spacious and well-furnished with a lovely balcony. The variety of tea and coffee in the room was great, and the buffet had a wide range of restaurants and delicious food. The beach was perfect for watching romantic sunsets, and there were water sports and tours available nearby.

    Felt well taken care of, no reason to complain.

    The setting, pool and beach. Very nice and clean rooms with the perfect ocean view.

    Food and coffee needs improvement. Buffet needs to be themed and have better choice and quality.
