The hotel is situated in a prime location right in the center of the port-city, making it extremely convenient to access different attractions on the island. The rooms, although needing renovation, provide a lively atmosphere with wedding guests around. However, they are small and stuffy, not ideal for the heat. The service is warm and welcoming, with some areas needing improvement, but the breakfast service stands out. The dining experience is excellent with a varied selection of foods, albeit noisy at times. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the action, overlooking the harbor. However, be prepared for some noise if you are sensitive. Overall, the hotel offers a great hub in a buzzing area but may require some adjustments to enhance the stay.
