Overall a nice hotel with an amazing breakfast. Difficult to get to eat at the main restaurant for supper so we always ate elsewhere. Also impossible to get into the jacuzzi. Perhaps mentioning that we should reserve these when we book the hotel would help with this? We were told this when we checked in but at that point it’s too late. Expedia says there are laundry services (hotel) and laundry facilities (self serve) but there are no machines to use. This is very misleading as we often use this information to choose a hotel. Very disappointed with Expedia for this as this was the case for 3 hotels on this trip that we booked.

When you arrive from the airport, you take a bus that drops people off at all the hotels and there is number of people to check in at one time and they did a very efficient job in doing this..Remii what’s very helpful and gave me great information on where I should go to see sites that I wanted to look at.Irina was especially nice also and check out is supposed to be at 11 o’clock and they’re going to allow me to stay till 2 o’clock because I don’t board my expedition ship until 4 o’clock, so that makes it perfect… and there was no charge for this!!! the breakfast buffet is excellent with a beautiful view!!! it’s simply located and very close to the ports that you board your ships on! Highly recommended
