A Truly Wonderful Stay!
great attentionfine viewfaster pace
The room was amazingly clean, with great attention to detail. I found tea, coffee, and hot chocolate right in the room, a sweet touch. Breakfast offered such a variety. It was a treat, especially with that fine view!!!
The speed of service felt a little too fast. It made me wonder if everything was prepared fresh. I would have appreciated a slightly slower pace, allowing more time to savor each moment and anticipate the deliciousness.
Dining

The breakfast had so many choices. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The presentation was thoughtful. The dining area was beautifully lit. I felt totally pampered.

Okay stay with a few minor issues
sea viewcomfy chairreheated chickenwatery sauce
My room had a very nice window overlooking the sea. The provided binoculars were a nice touch and i used the comfy chair to watch out at sea.
The food quality at dinner was subpar. It seemed like my chicken was reheated, not freshly prepared (even basic preparation would take longer, let alone proper cooking).
