My Personal Experience

When I visited the 10,000 Roses Café, I went around 4 PM to catch the sunset. The scenery was breathtaking — the golden rays reflected on the sea, and as it got dark, the roses started to light up beautifully. I enjoyed a cold iced coffee while sitting on the rooftop deck, taking in the fresh air and relaxing seaside vibe. Every corner is perfect for photos, and I ended up taking dozens!
