I had a great stay overall with spacious and impeccably clean rooms that just need a little updating here and there. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made a big difference to my experience. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired as they were quite average. The location is not the most convenient, being a bit far from the jetty and island, but it still has its charms.
