10/10 Excellent
"The room I stayed in building 4 was clean had an old smell and the balcony was dirty with bird droppings. The latch to the door was broken but still locked just needs an upgrade. There was a popping sound coming from the walls so I could not get a good sleep. Also don’t stay on the side where the parking is because you get all the traffic noise from the parking area. Overall the place is well maintained and semi friendly staff but the level of attentiveness was not the same as I saw with other customers staying there- but still cordial and respectful. I enjoyed the tranquility this place brings and the walks on the port. The park near by was a great spot to walk the fury pets and environment was all that I expected. The pool was clean and the jacuzzi was much enjoyed and needed after long walks. The boat house Resturant was not my vibe but good food. The breakfast is overpriced but did appreciate the port view. Definitely worth staying here and will visit once again to see if I get the same impression till next time. Worth the money."
