The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms that are basic and clean, but not vacuumed thoroughly from previous guests. The service provided by the efficient and friendly staff is fantastic with nothing being too much trouble. The location is excellent for accessing various attractions but could do with some modernization. The dining experience is ok but slightly lacking in variety, especially during breakfast times. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel had everything we needed and was in good condition decoration-wise; however, it was only a 2-star standard with cheap pillows and a worn-out mattress. Being directly above the casino's air conditioning system was a downside.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with great proximity to the beach and friendly staff. However, the rooms need updating and lack sound insulation. The view from the location is missed due to unimpressive surroundings.
