The open design of the hotel created a romantic atmosphere. The path leading to the quiet beach became a place for tender moments, especially during sunset. The hotel provided cheap taxi service for nearby restaurants. It was very convenient.

The pool areas lacked music. There was no atmosphere. You need to enter the cafe if you wanted to order a drink by the pool. It was tricky when wet, and the staff stood around inside. Breakfast was okay, though the attendants stood at the entrance while I had to find my own table.
