    comfy bed
    stunning view
    jetted tub
    broken jacuzzi
    minor inconvenience

    The Executive King Room was super comfy with the perfect bed firmness. I loved the big balcony with a stunning view over the marina. The bathroom was nice and spacious, and the jetted tub was a treat. Everything was clean and welcoming, made me feel like I was at home. Also, having a Nespresso machine in the room was a nice touch! Only issue was the jacuzzi didn't work properly, which was a bit of a letdown.

    great view
    complimentary cookies
    relaxing massages
    poor bathroom lighting

    We had a fantastic time with a beautiful view from our Executive King Room and enjoyed the complimentary cookies and great coffee in the lobby. The on-site spa offered relaxing massages, and I loved lounging on the sun terrace. The only small thing was that the bathroom could have had better lighting, but overall, I’d definitely recommend this place! 🌟

    local culinary samples
    waterfront views
    killer pasta
    underwhelming restaurant food
    slow breakfast service

    Dining here is an adventure! The local culinary samples were delightful, and the Lighthouse Grill offered some solid meals with waterfront views. Plus, loved the nearby Giuseppe's Al Porto for that killer pasta vibe!

    The restaurant food didn’t quite hit the mark for what we expected, and there was a bit of a wait for breakfast that left us hoping for faster service.

    bucket list boat cruise
    spectacular sunset
    unhelpful front desk

    Had an awesome time with friends! We explored the beautiful trails and took a bucket list boat cruise to Sucia Island. Watching the sunset was breathtaking. The Tree Lighting event was a fun add-on. Just keep in mind, some services can be hit or miss.

    One downside was the service at the front desk. they seemed unsure about our requests and didn’t handle things well, which was frustrating.

    awkward bathroom

    The bathroom design left a lot to be desired. those shutters that open into the main room compromise privacy and can feel awkward. Additionally, lacking a complimentary breakfast prepared guests for extra costs at the on-site restaurant, which might not be ideal for everyone. Given the price level, some amenities felt sparse compared to other hotels with similar offerings.
