I was initially excited about my stay, but we faced a significant hiccup with our booking that took the wind out of our sails. Despite that, I loved the lively atmosphere, especially with the live music and pool area. The beach access was a huge plus, and I appreciated the comfortable amenities. Overall, it's a charming place for a special occasion, but be sure to double-check your reservations.

We had an amazing stay at the hotel! The beach access was fantastic, and the attentive service from the staff made our experience even better. The wedding we attended was beautifully executed, and the entire atmosphere was vibrant. However, it was a bit disappointing that the outdoor bar was closed for the season, limiting some dining options, and the pricing felt on the higher side during peak season.
