    The hotel location was really good. Access to the beach, fromthe back of the hotel. Pools were great and the staff was very polite and helpful. The gym was good but the equipment was rather dated and not great. It's 10 minutes away from the city...

    Nice hotel with super friendly staff. Restaurant was good as well. Location was great cause it was quiet but still pretty close to nearly every interesting place. Everything reachable with a short Uber ride. Would recommend staying here.
