Stardust Boutique Hotel

Honestly, if you’re after friendly service with a personal touch right by the beach, this place hits the mark. The staff make you feel genuinely welcome, which makes all the difference after a long day of travel.

I loved the garden and kitchen area—perfect for working or just relaxing outside. But heads up: don’t expect basic stuff like soap by the sinks or free water, and keep an eye on your food in the fridge unless you want it mysteriously relocated.

The location is decent, especially with that back door leading straight to the beach, but the smell in the dorm really put a damper on things. Beds were comfy enough, though; just wish there was a chill spot to hang out and soak in the sea breeze.

The staff here really go above and beyond—one moment you’re lugging your bags, the next the manager has already whisked them away to your room. The ocean views from the rooms are a sweet bonus, and being close to great food spots just seals the deal.
