Overall, the hotel has a beautiful property with clean, airy vibes, and ample space in the beach area to relax. However, the inconsistent service regarding housekeeping and dining leaves room for improvement. The atmosphere is elegant, but some amenities didn't meet expectations given the price point, particularly regarding the food quality and room maintenance.

Overall, the hotel had a nice stay, especially for a week or so, with a great beach vibe and a spacious room that offered a wonderful view. However, as the stay went longer, I encountered several issues, particularly with service inconsistencies and dining experiences that sometimes fell short. It's a nice place but might not be ideal for longer visits due to these concerns.
