10/10 Excellent
"The staff are really friendly and helpful. The concierge gave me helpful advice about the ferry and called for the shuttle when the time came. I ate at the onsite restaurant during my stay and the food was really good. The wait for a table was short or not at all. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the beach view was grand. The only recommendation I have is the room needs a luggage rack."
