Itâ≢s tired decor and rooms.
Fabulous Meditation feel, wonderful pool & cabanas. Filtered & Sparking water available at reception. Karen & Steve very friendly and welcoming.
Absolutely beautiful room in a great location.. lots of modern touches and impeccably clean and comfortable . Wish I could have stayed longer
Cost More than I like to spend but needed something close to the harbor
Everything. Simply wonderful. New, clean, attentive staff, food truck next to the hotel for a brekkie, close to the beach, nice pool.
Was so stylishly decorated and provisioned. They have thought of every detail and luxury. Comfortable and impeccably clean. The pool area, rooms, and lobby are perfection.
Very comfortable, clean and well presented
Great stay experience ! The design of the hotel is very cosy and resort like. we had a very relaxing stay. The room is clean and cosy, with a little balcony looking out to the sea. Even the Swimming pool is very nicely design !
Nothing basically
The decor was outstanding - resort style, modern, clean and fresh. We had a great view out over the Marina. We stayed at The Marina about 4 years ago and the transformation of the resort was amazing. The pool looked fantastic - but unfortunately it was too cool to swim. We had a little trouble opening the balcony door however reception quickly came and rectified that.
We are being a bit picky however there was no freezer in the refrigerator which we found unusual. As older travelers the position of the shelf to put our suitcases was very low to the ground which was a little inconvenient.
The rooms were recently renovated and were spotless! Beautiful amenities in the rooms. The pool was fantastic and the resort, just a short walk from town and the Marina.
The newly refurbished room was absolutely gorgeous. The decor is stunning with great attention to detail. Super comfy bed, balcony with a fabulous view, and excellent location that's easy walking distance to the many restaurants. We totally loved staying here and will definitely be back soon.
For us it was perfect, nothing needs improvement.
Close to all Amenities. Toilets nice & clean
There were small tiny Cockraches in microwave & surrounding area of Microwave, we notified room cleaning services & they dint do anything about it really disappointed.
Close to shops and walking distance to the beach. Quite place and balcony view is great.
The staff were so genuinely caring and great at problem solving!! The rooms were spotlessly clean and bed so comfortable
Can't complain at all !!! We will stay again !!!

Room is clean , good location , no breakfast available and the reception is open 2-6, we came at 4:30 and looks like the
Tired hotelBathroom had a permanent smell,Fridge froze all our liquids solid overnightSpent 10 min picking thorns from my 6yos feet after he walked on the grassShower leaked significantly at the hinge of the shower arm, spraying you unavoidably in the face
Convenient location. Can walk next to the river and boats at night time as it is walking distance. Also there are number of restaurants walking distance. And the breakfast cafe near the river opens at 6AM which has lot of options.
