I had a delightful stay at this hotel, with its beautifully designed Japanese decor that added a touch of elegance. While my room was comfortable and quiet, I did find that the Wi-Fi had an extra charge, which was a bit inconvenient. The location was perfect for accessing the beach easily yet felt private. Breakfast options were satisfactory, but I wish there were more variety.

My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms offered beautiful Japanese decor and were comfortable, even without air conditioning. However, accessing the beach wasn't the easiest due to ongoing road construction. While the services were good, there were a couple of areas that could be improved, especially regarding parking arrangements. Still, I found the price to be fair for what I received.
