My stay at the Grand Hotel had its ups and downs. The beach nearby was stunning and truly a highlight, but my room could use some improvements, and the dining options were quite limited. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, the value for money feels a bit off considering some aspects of my stay.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I enjoyed the spacious and clean rooms, there were a few bumps along the way. The location was beautiful, right near the beach, but the dining left much to be desired with limited healthy options. Overall, it has its ups and downs, but I wouldn't say it’s perfect.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was spacious and initially clean, I was disappointed to find ants around the bar TV area and mold on the ceilings. The location was beautiful, right on a lovely beach, which was a highlight. However, the dining options were quite limited with not many healthy choices, making meals less enjoyable than I expected.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean for the most part, but there were some pesky ants in the bar area. The service was attentive, although some staff seemed more focused on selling extras than on assistance. I appreciated the beautiful beach location, but the dining options didn't quite hit the mark, particularly at dinner. Overall, it had its highlights, but a few areas really need improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the spacious rooms were clean and comfy, which I appreciated. However, I faced some issues with noise from the old air conditioning unit and a few unwelcome ants around the bar TV area. The dining options were also pretty limited and didn’t really impress me, especially the lack of healthy choices. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I expected a bit more for the price.
