My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, being right on the beach and close to a variety of restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, the dining could have more breakfast options. The pool area was well-kept and delightful. The price was reasonable, but the downside was the separate charge for Wi-Fi.

The hotel is like a butterfly garden ON THE ISLAND with an amazing PERSONALITY. The spacious and well-appointed rooms feature comfortable beds and all necessary amenities, though you may need that BIG bottle of sunscreen for the sunny location. The staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and caring experience, reflecting a level of service that can sometimes be lacking. The dining options are varied, and the location stands out for its large size and variety of plant species attracting diverse butterflies.
