Island Gem
warm welcome excellent breakfast ample storage super clean ensuite
The welcome was warm and the breakfast setup was excellent. The room offered ample storage. The ensuite was wonderfully compact, essential, and spotlessly clean. The hotel is located only five minutes from the beach (ideal for a morning stroll).
I would have liked the option to buy soft drinks and snacks at the hotel.
Location
10/10
The hotel enjoys proximity to the beach and train station, and is easily accessible for island exploration by car or bus, which I found very convenient. There is free parking available at the house too.
Rooms
9/10
The double room included shampoo, body wash, and hair conditioner, which I appreciate. The hospitality tray was generous and restocked daily (a nice touch!). The room was cleaned to a high standard .

small room inflexible breakfast
the room i occupied proved smaller than i anticipated. i found the lack of readily available soft drinks and snacks inconvenient. a proper drinks selection should exist throughout the day. the breakfast procedure requires more flexibility, instead of a set time to fill a form by 10pm. it does not provide the guest with freedom to decide when to eat.
