Overall a very good and enjoyable experience. Only things to let it down where the breakfast seemed to be very short staffed, and our air conditioning for the room didn't seem to work at all, and with it being super hot within the room it wasn't ideal. The room was very clean, and the staff always made sure we had everything we needed.

We stayed the one night as we were getting the ferry the next day, we checked into our room only to find the TV wouldn't work, the staff moved us to the room next door promptly, thus saving me having to talk to my good wife if the TV didnt work. the pool was good to unwind after a long drive.
