The location was special with the hotel situated close to the town square. our spacious room offered a lovely garden and ocean view, it was divine. the staff were great. i particularly adored the rooftop bar. The sunset views from there were amazing.

the hot water in the shower was intermittent. it only lasted a few minutes at a time. this made showering a test of patience.

clean hotelhelpful staffgreat poolbar noise

I found the hotel to be very clean. The staff were kind and helpful throughout my stay. The pool provided a great view of the water and nearby islands. Breakfast had several options and was quite tasty each morning.

I noticed some noise from a nearby bar at night. It ran from dusk until dawn. This could be a problem sensitive to noise.

good locationpoor wi-filimited breakfast

the location was quite good, close to everything, yet still fairly quiet.

The wi-fi was almost unusable. i constantly struggled to get a signal, and when i did, it was slow. also, the breakfast buffet had very limited options. I found myself eating the same thing every morning because there wasn't much variety. the rooftop bar wasn't open .
