I had a fantastic stay at this resort! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the harbor where all the sightseeing tours depart. The amenities were great, including a clean pool area. The only downside was that some areas of the resort could use some maintenance, but overall I really enjoyed my time here and felt it was good value for money.

We had a wonderful time at the resort, particularly enjoying the spacious penthouse with stunning views from the balcony. The check-in process was smooth and the apartment was well-equipped. However, we did notice some maintenance issues in the hallway, and the reception closing early could be inconvenient for some. Overall, it's a delightful place to stay, especially if you love beautiful views.

Our stay at the resort was fantastic, especially with the spacious three-bedroom unit offering beautiful pool views. The property feels luxurious with its well-maintained pool and friendly staff who really added to our experience. However, the location is a bit far from the shops, so we had to drive for dining options, and the pool was unexpectedly cold. Overall, it's a great resort for families and groups looking for a relaxing getaway.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the marina and close to several dining options. The spacious rooms were a highlight, especially with the lovely balcony views. However, the overall condition of some amenities, like the pool area, could use a bit of attention. Additionally, I found the Wi-Fi connection to be unreliable at times.
