Very pretty, good location, door to room allowed air in, blinds so t keep sun out, water pressure in shower was bad, room service touched personal belongings multiple times. People on marina were loud. Food is expensive better to bring your own or pickup else where in town. Housekeeping doesn’t speak English. Staff at check in was rather off putting. Seems like she had better things to be doing.
