The hotel has a decent location close to both the beach and the airport, which is a big plus. The rooms, though clean, were nothing special and felt a bit shabby. The service can be quite slow, which can be frustrating at times. Overall, it’s a good spot if you're looking for something economical, but there are certainly some areas that could use improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is quite convenient, being close to the airport and city center, which is a definite plus. However, the rooms left much to be desired with an old design and unpleasant odors. On the bright side, the staff is really friendly and tries to be helpful despite some limitations. Overall, the hotel has potential, but it feels more like a budget option than a comfortable getaway.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport and city center, which is a big plus. While the staff, especially during check-in, were friendly and accommodating, the rooms left a lot to be desired as they are badly in need of renovation. The air conditioning didn't work very well, which made my stay uncomfortable at times. On the brighter side, the breakfast buffet was quite good and the pool area was enjoyable.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had a great location near the airport, the experience was a bit mixed. The rooms felt outdated and were unfortunately located next to a noisy generator, which was not ideal. On the upside, the staff was fantastic and very helpful, making the stay a bit more enjoyable. However, the dining options could be improved, especially for vegetarians. Overall, it has potential but needs some upgrades.

The hotel has a decent location close to the beach and airport, which adds some value. However, the rooms need serious updates and cleanliness improvements. The service varied, with a few friendly staff members but also some who didn't understand customer service well. The pool was nice, and breakfast was enjoyable, but overall, it wasn't an ideal stay.
