Hotel has an amazing 180 deg view of the ocean - you can see both sunrise and sunset. The hotel was clean and well maintained. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. There’s also a beautiful garden and small pool behind the hotel. I’ll definitely be back!

The property is just located nearby the ferry terminal and tourist information center, which provides stunning views of the harbor. The room is so tidy, and the kiosk nearby really offers many dinning options. The staff there is very friendly and helpful as well.
