I had a great stay at this hotel, which is perched on a lovely hill with a stunning view of the harbor. The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures, clean, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The service from the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. While the location is convenient to many restaurants, I felt that the dining options could be improved. Overall, it's a solid value for money and perfect for a relaxing getaway.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to its stunning location near the harbor and the town center. The rooms were clean and spacious, which was great for my family, although the sofa could have been larger for the teens. The service was friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired. Overall, it felt like good value for money, but the sofa situation knocked it down a notch.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near the marina and the town center. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, making it perfect for my family with three young kids. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. However, the dining options left a little to be desired, as there weren't many vegetarian options available. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, but dining could improve.
