The breakfast buffet had many fresh choices. the location was great, especially for accessing nearby excursions. It was only a short walk to the harbor. breakfast definitely met expectations. the location was ideal.
The room cleaning was below expectations. i noticed dust accumulating, a big disappointment. despite mentioning it, nothing was done and it affected my comfort. the staff seemed short on towels on one occasion. I had to use hand towels for a shower.
