i appreciated the ample breakfast choices. the service was very attentive. the hotel's museum section offered a calming and educational experience. the rooms surpassed my expectations regarding size and the sea views provided a fantastic backdrop.
i found a lack of acknowledgment from the staff upon my late arrival after a long journey. the room i booked was for three people, yet it was only set up for two with lacking amenities. i had to request towels and wait 45 minutes after a second call to get them.
