The location is unbeatable, right across the meeting point in the port. All types of stores and places to eat are just outside the hotel. Transportation is available and walkable distance to a wonderful plaza full of restaurants. We got a room facing the port, and the view was amazing. I loved this hotel, and recommend it fully

The hotel is in a very nice area, by the harbour. Very convenient for walking to see the sites, and sampling the many restaurants in the area. It's a very safe neighbourhood and pretty. The staff are very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to find out where you are from, what you want to do and they offer suggestions and ideas. Highly recommend this hotel.
