I had a delightful stay at the hotel with its unique Japanese tea set in the room and traditional tatami mat design. The friendly service added a nice touch, though they didn't assist with baggage. The location overlooking the beautiful beach was simply stunning, despite some areas being a bit rundown. The dining experience was exceptional, with gourmet food served. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.
