“What stands out here is the thoughtful blend of convenience and leisure, especially the rooftop infinity pool with its city vista. I think the kitchenettes add a practical touch, appealing to those who appreciate a bit of self-sufficiency while traveling. Its location makes it easy to enjoy the beaches and sights.”
