Pros +

  • Swimming Pool
  • The location of this hotel is so relaxing. It was a beautiful spot right by the water. We really enjoyed the views and using the pool and hot tub that were also by the water. The hotel staff were very friendly.
  • Location and friendly staff!

Cons -

  • No Vacuum for the Room
  • The coffee in the morning was tasty but there is only one machine for the whole hotel. A large carafe of coffee would be a lot more efficient.
  • The sheets and towels.
