I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is beautifully designed in a charming Spanish adobe style. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach and close to so many shops and restaurants. I appreciated the evening wine and cheese hour—it added a delightful touch to my visit! However, the rooms could use some maintenance and updates, which brought down my overall rating a bit.

6.8/10

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location of this hotel is fantastic, right across from the beach, and the quirky decor adds a fun vibe. However, the room was quite stuffy, and the service was notably lacking, especially during busy times. While the evening wine and snack offering was a nice touch, I felt the staff really struggled to keep up with the demands of the guests.

Breakfast was okay, and the wine and snack buffet in the afternoon was enjoyable, but consistency was lacking.
