This boutique hotel truly offers a unique experience with its eclectic decor and charming outdoor spaces. The cozy room I stayed in came with a cute little private balcony and a super comfy bed, though it did feel a bit small at times. The staff was incredibly accommodating and filled with great energy, making my stay delightful. The location is wonderful, just a short stroll from the beach, yet I found myself needing a taxi to reach other attractions, which was a slight inconvenience. Overall, the hotel provides excellent value for money, but some minor maintenance in the rooms is needed.
