My stay at the hotel was delightful, with spacious accommodations that offered a private terrace and great amenities. The staff were always smiling and eager to help, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, the breakfast selection was somewhat basic, and although the dining options were convenient, they didn't quite stand out.
