It was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. Stayed for 7 nights and got a room upgrade which was great! It has good access to the beach, spa facilities are nice. Staff was helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, but the buffet dinner option was was worth the price, since most restaurants nearby were still closed, we ended up eating a lot at the chill bar. The food was tastey but menu is limited. Old town shuttle service only goes twice a day so if you miss it, uber is the only option to go around. All in all it was a good stay. I would recommend the hotel!
