Excellent Stay with Fantastic Views

harbor location helpful staff large balcony short walk

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.

Reception staff provided help with trip bookings and useful translation assistance. The rooftop bar's staff was responsive to requests, offering quick service. Breakfast staff maintained a cute environment and were always ready to assist with any needs.
