"The hotel is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. Any issues we had were resolved promptly. My main complaint is the inconsistency sometimes the service, food, cleanliness, and hospitality were excellent, and other times very disappointing. Also, there is no safe walkway outside the hotel, so if you enjoy walking, running, or biking, it can be very dangerous."

"The hotel staff's helpfulness and tolerance are excellent. For example, when I mentioned at check-in that I didn't have a hairdryer, they brought one for us that same day. Another highlight is the restaurant, located next to the grill and the sea; the food is excellent, the prices reasonable, and the setting exceptional."
