I had a mixed experience during my stay. While the stunning sea views from the hotel and some friendly staff members were highlights, several issues marred the overall enjoyment, particularly with the dining service and food quality. The long wait times for meals and the poor execution of dishes made it hard to enjoy our evenings. Overall, while I saw potential, there were definitely areas for improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag. The views were absolutely stunning, especially from our room, which made up for some service hiccups. The dining experience was top-notch, with delicious food and a lovely ambiance, but the room situation and breakfast had their issues. While the staff tried to be accommodating, there were times they seemed overwhelmed, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, I appreciated the beauty of the location and the quality of the dining but wished for a bit more attention to service and breakfast selection.
