I enjoyed the excellent service. The staff were very helpful. My breakfast was great (especially the eggs benedict!). Dinner in the restaurant was really good, the food was delicious.
My shower had weak pressure. When I mentioned this to the reception, they said they already knew about it. They offered another room, but I did not want to repack.

The room had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was modern , clean , and well-kept. Breakfast offered a nice selection of fresh fruits and pastries.
The room decor seemed dated. The room was also very warm , even after turning off the radiator. The windows could have been cleaner to better see the sea view.
