I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with amazing views from the restaurant that overlooked the sea. The staff were accommodating and friendly, helping me even when I was late for breakfast. While the room wasn't fancy, it was clean and comfortable. The only downside was the mediocre breakfast buffet, but the overall experience made it worthwhile.

Staying at Hotel Esplanada was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, with both a stunning view of the sunrise and sunset from the restaurant and a tranquil pool area to unwind. The staff made me feel right at home with their warm and welcoming demeanor. One minor downside was that it could get a bit lively during entertainment nights, which might not suit everyone’s taste, but overall, I felt it offered exceptional value for the experience provided.

Hotel Esplanade truly impressed me, offering breathtaking ocean views from the restaurant, which is perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset. The staff was exceptionally warm and attentive, making me feel really welcomed throughout my stay. While the rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, there were some minor issues, like the flushing toilets that could use improvement. The live music on weekends added a vibrant touch, although it might be wise to stay in the back rooms for a quieter experience.
