Loved the hotel. Room was wonderful, comfy, sound proofed, lovely pillows, great shower could tell it was cleaned regularly. Water filled in the mini fridge each day. Breakfast was perfect for what I needed. Close to the beaches and still close enough to the main marina to walk each night (I took about half hour ). Marina you can watch the ships, get ice cream, lots of bars and places to eat. Lots going on at night. Perfect location . Staff were also super helpful.
