The hotel rooms were clean, well taken care of, and felt like home with the beautiful fireplace during the cold months. However, some snacks or candy in the rooms could have enhanced the experience. The service, from the preliminary booking calls to the interactions with the staff, was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The location was great, offering the opportunity for lovely walks even in winter and being ideal for access to shopping, sailing, dining, and scooter rentals.

My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The rooms were beautifully furnished and spacious, allowing me to work comfortably during the day. The service, from the valet to the housekeepers, was exactly what I needed. The location was perfect for my needs, offering a modern luxury feel with stunning water views. However, the dining prices were on the high side, and the lobby bar area felt a bit separated from the rest of the hotel.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The room was lovely, overlooking the water with a small balcony and gas fireplace, making for a cozy and luxurious atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, truly making me feel at home. The location was perfect, within walking distance to great shopping, sailing, dining, and scooter rentals. The dining experience was a real treat to look forward to, especially with the stunning harbor view. However, the price seemed a bit high for someone on a budget and the rooms could use a coffee pot in the morning.
