We stayed here after our cruise and had a great experience overall. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and everything felt well maintained. We were especially impressed by the restaurant, both the food and atmosphere were excellent. Shirley, John, and the restaurant team were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really made our stay even more enjoyable.
