My stay at the hotel was quite a rollercoaster. On the positive side, the ocean view from my room was fantastic, and the live music provided a lovely cultural touch. However, the room itself was in poor condition, showing signs of age and lack of maintenance, and the dining options were rather disappointing. Overall, given the price I paid, the experience felt far from valuable.
