Our stay was a mixed bag at this boutique hotel. On the plus side, the location was peaceful and near beautiful beaches, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. However, the room cleanliness left a bit to be desired, and there were issues with service delays, particularly at the bar. The pool area was small, which might not suffice for everyone, but we enjoyed the sun there nonetheless.
