The location is ideal, close to the harbor for boat trips. My room had a big balcony with a beautiful view (I really enjoyed it). The boat station is a short walk away. Public and private beaches are also nearby.
The air conditioning system was a bit ineffective. It was not as cold as I hoped, and I think it affected my sleep a little.
