My stay at The Chocolate Box Hotel was absolutely delightful! The staff members, especially Flo and Valeska, made sure that every aspect of my visit was enjoyable. I loved the quirky chocolate-themed decor and how clean and well-maintained the entire place was. The location is perfect, being so close to the beach and many attractions, although I did notice some street noise in my room. The breakfast was a highlight, with so many delicious options, but sometimes the service was a bit slow due to staff being busy.
