What a delightful stay! The hotel offers a great location right by the sea shore and is very close to shops and amenities. The rooms are comfortable with a lovely balcony, although the LCD TVs need an upgrade. The service is friendly but could improve with basic customer service training. I enjoyed the local sweets in the dining area, but there's room for enhancement. The facilities are convenient, and the price is reasonable for the overall experience.
