Overnight stay.

It was an overnight stay and we had room service fpr dinner which was fast and the food was delicious. The beds weren't comfortable to us but everyone has different likes for mattress firmness so can't guarantee every hotel is going to have a mattress that is comfy for everyone. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was lovely to hear the water outside our room. Very relaxing.

Stayed at this hotel recently and was really impressed with how beautiful and clean it was. The atmosphere was elegant, and everything felt well-maintained. The only downsides were that the layout was a bit confusing to navigate, and I wish there had been more clarity on what was included in our package. We weren’t always sure what amenities we had access to. That said, it was a great experience overall, and I’d still recommend it for a comfortable stay!
