I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, mainly due to its spacious and clean rooms and the great location close to the beach. However, the service could use some improvement as the staff wasn’t very welcoming. The dining options were also limited for the price. Overall, it was a decent experience but with a few areas needing attention.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a pretty good experience overall. The location is great, just a short walk to the beach, and the rooms were spacious and clean. However, I found the air conditioning didn’t cool the room down enough, and the balcony was a bit neglected. The staff members were friendly, but I did encounter some inconsistency in service. The dining options were limited for the price, which was somewhat disappointing.

My stay at the hotel was quite the mixed bag. The location is super convenient, just a short walk to the beach and shopping centers. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my visit, which made a big difference. However, the rooms had a bad smell and felt stuffy, and the dining experience was far from satisfactory, leaving a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a decent place, but there are some areas that need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff was friendly and made an effort to help with any issues. However, the rooms could definitely use some improvement, as they felt stuffy and looked dirty. The location was fantastic, being peaceful and close to the beach, but the dining options left a lot to be desired since they weren't suitable for halaal guests.

I had a great stay overall! The hotel is in a very quiet and relaxing area, making it perfect for unwinding. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was friendly, but I wish there were better dining options available. Although the location was convenient for getting around, the dining experience left a lot to be desired in terms of variety and quality.
