Very nice Bay Views

Our room had an very nice view of the bay, which made our stay a nice one. The air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping us comfortable during our time there. We appreciated the late checkout option and being able to leave our bags with reception after checking out. Highly recommend this hotel to all.

Delicious Continental Buffet

The continental buffet was worth it, offering a variety of fruits, yogurts, pastries, and cereals. It was a great way to start our day before heading out to explore. The bar service was amazing with easy ordering through a QR code, making it convenient to enjoy our meals.
