excellent location, attentive staff!

i found the location convenient with easy access to the marina, shops, and cafes. the staff really showed care and attention making sure all my needs were covered. my room was always clean i really appreciate that detail. they even held my golf bag while i went on a scuba trip, i really appreciated that.
The bathroom taps could be tricky. It seemed hard to get a consistent temperature so it was either too hot or too cold.
