I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel! The atmosphere was so inviting, and it felt cozy throughout my visit. The room was rather spacious and clean, but the air conditioning could have been a bit quieter. While it was very convenient to have a pool, the dining options in the restaurant left me wanting more variety. Overall, it was a good value for the experience, even if there were a couple of hiccups.

The staff were genuinely friendly, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the dining experience left something to be desired due to the limited breakfast options.
