The variety of available amenities was a fantastic bonus, although I did encounter some maintenance issues that slightly detracted from the overall experience.

I had a delightful stay at By the Sea, where the location is unbeatable-a stone's throw from the beach, making it so convenient for beach days. The room was spacious and had a stunning view, which definitely added to our holiday vibe. While the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, I did miss having a daily cleaning service. Overall, it was a great experience, just on the pricier side without certain amenities you might expect from a more traditional resort.
