The breakfast buffet had many options and tasted good! the staff were friendly. They helped me with directions. the location was near the port, handy, because i arrived by ferry.

The shower water was salty. It made it hard to lather soap. there were no snacks available at the pool bar, so i had to go to the supermarket. there wasn't any gym at the hotel, a disappointment, though, i knew i wouldn't use it anyway.
