Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had a great view of the water, providing fabulous views to wake up to. The bunk beds added a fun touch, and having TV and Wi-Fi was super convenient. The service was top-notch with great coordination from the general manager and excellent housekeeping. The location couldn't have been better, right in town overlooking the harbor and across the street from the harbor. The dining experience, especially with the included bacon, was delightful. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of my stay.
Wow, what a spot! The hotel is perfectly located right on the seafront, overlooking a delightful marina with boats bobbing. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the staff is incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience could have more tandoori dishes. The location is a perfect 10, but keep in mind that the Wi-Fi is not included and comes at an extra cost.
I woke up to fabulous views of the water, making my stay truly delightful. The hotel is great for smaller kids to enjoy, offering a pleasant experience overall. However, there are certain areas that could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience.
