"The location of the property was great, not a far walk to the port where we came in. The staff were not the friendliest, particularly in the restaurant. But we enjoyed having a balcony overlooking the pool and the room was dark and quiet through the night."

Only stayed here for two nights, but really enjoyed our time here. We had a suite on the top floor which was really lovely. Great location. Rooftop pool area was great, but there isn’t really any shade to be found up there during the day. The selection of offerings at the buffet breakfast was amazing (probably one of the best buffet breakfasts I’ve enjoyed!), the only downside was that the hotel’s covid rules required you to wear disposable plastic gloves every time you go up to the buffet which I find somewhat pointless and incredibly wasteful and sad for the environment.
