The hotel's location was superb, right in the town center and near the ferry, offering great sea views and convenience for transportation. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond for guests, though the dining experience was a bit lackluster. The rooms, however, were disappointing, with cleanliness and maintenance issues affecting the overall stay.
