I had an enjoyable stay at Hotel Dunas De Sal, thanks to its clean and friendly environment and a lovely pool. However, the breakfast could use some serious upgrades, and the NYE dinner experience left much to be desired, especially given its high cost. Overall, it was a charming spot, but a few areas need improvement.
