We absolutely loved the cleanliness of the hotel, as every corner was meticulously maintained. The spacious pool was a highlight, offering a stunning tropical setting that made our relaxation time truly enjoyable. With easy access to the beach and a variety of excellent restaurants just a short stroll away, we felt perfectly situated for both dining and leisure activities. Our ground-floor room was comfortable and well-equipped, providing all the amenities we needed for a convenient stay.

the cleanliness was impeccable, and the location right next to the beach made daily strolls a breeze. The pool area, surrounded by beautiful greenery and towering 30-meter gum trees, was a serene escape. Not to mention, I was just a short walk away from a variety of delightful restaurants and cafes, which enhanced my dining options.
