My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the quay and surrounded by charming restaurants and shops. The staff went above and beyond with their service, ensuring I felt welcomed and cared for throughout my stay. While the facilities were superb, including a lovely pool area, I did find the room I was initially given a bit cramped for a five-star hotel, although it eventually was changed to a better one. Overall, it offered great value for money, with impeccable hygiene and comfort.
