Reasonable Stay with Minor Issues
clean facilitiessea viewsslow servicestressed hostess
The room was very clean and the facilities were great. I especially enjoyed the excellent marina and sea views (a highlight of my stay).
The breakfast service was terribly slow. I found the hostess to be rather stressed and badly organized (it was noticeable during the morning rush).
