I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, where the cleanliness was impeccable and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The studio spa unit was well-equipped, and the views from my balcony were breathtaking, particularly during sunset. I also appreciated the quick transportation provided to and from the ferry, making it easy to explore everything the charming town offered.
