“This rustic beachfront hotel makes a striking first impression, offering direct access to the sea and a breezy communal terrace. Rooms can be compact, but they're reportedly clean and well-equipped, especially appreciated is air conditioning given the tropical climate. Though some aspects require attention, the friendly service and prime location stand out.”
