local cheeses quiet environment frequent service

The breakfast buffet included many options. I tried fresh pastries and local cheeses. The free boat service to the mainland ran frequently. It provided easy access to the town. The island location provided a very quiet environment. I enjoyed being away from the busy streets at night.

The gym was rather small.

tiny shower early bar closing

i was excited about this island getaway, but the room was not great. the bathroom felt cramped, the shower cubicle was tiny. also, the bar closed early one night for a wedding party. it. the pool area lacked a bar too so getting drinks meant trekking back inside. not great.

adequate stay, some letdowns

small shower cubicle chaotic reception

The reception area was often chaotic. staff seemed overwhelmed by ferry queries and day-tripper ticket requests. a separate line for arriving guests would help a lot. the shower cubicle in my room was also very small. it felt borderline unusable, quite disappointing. The bar closed early on one evening. guests attending a wedding reception received service, while other hotel guests were left without. i found that unacceptable.

lovely island retreat

quick ferry rich buffet great beach

the ferry to the island runs quickly. it took only 8 minutes to get to the town for a tour. the hotel buffet was rich with a lot of options at all times. pools and the beach are great for families.

the shower cubicle was small. it was borderline unusable, made showering difficult. there was also no pool bar, requiring a walk back to the hotel for refreshments.

wonderful island retreat

spacious grounds convenient boat

I enjoyed the hotel's spacious public areas and the extensive grounds. There were many sun loungers near the pools and around the island's small beaches. The boat trip to and from the island was quick and convenient. Staff members were friendly and accommodating, and i appreciated their assistance.

The hotel lift did not reach the ground floor. I had to carry my bags down a flight of steps to get to reception during checkout. There was no offer to help with my luggage.

The hotel's island location provided quiet days with access to both the swimming pool and hotel grounds. The hotel offers easy ferry access to the town. I really appreciated the convenient transportation.
