Loved my stay here, the room was modern, clean & comfortable, the pool area was a favorite, spent a whole afternoon laying around it swimming in the beautiful warm water. The staff were friendly & obliging, made a few requests & each one was met with a positive response. Would definitely recommend & stay here again

Stayed one extra day, since there is to much to see in one day. Liked my room. I was able to make some familiar food. On the road my diet suffers. Had parking, and easy to walk around harbor area.

Excellent place to stay for the week. Highly recommend. Only downside was that it can be a litte noisy depending on the traffic. Great location.
