Good Place For A Visit

helpful staff buffet breakfast sea view
The staff provided good assistance with ferry arrangements. Location provided a good view of the beach. It was easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. Old Village was accessible by foot. Breakfast was buffet style. Options included cereal and a full cooked breakfast. The twin room we stayed in was well maintained. The bathroom had a clean shower. The hosts were cute and accommodating. Breakfast had something for everyone and set me up for the day. The garden offered a nice view of the sea.
The room was very small. The TV screen was small too. Curtains allowed light inside and did not keep warm weather out. Black out blinds are needed.
