“The yacht club presents a paradox: a potentially charming stay marred by inconsistency. Its location near the marina promises picturesque views and access to sailing activities, but dated interiors and service hiccups detract from the experience. For dedicated sailing enthusiasts, the history and club atmosphere might compensate, though others might find better value elsewhere.”
