Very good location for the harbour

5 out of 5

Short walk to the harbour for those early morning starts on the reef trips. Very close to town centre, shops and restaurants.

Nice hotel with a great staff. Great service.

3 out of 5

Nice place to stay, across the street from the esplanade and a short walk from shopping and tourist attractions. Great deal for the service. The people that work there were terrific. Good breakfast buffet albeit expensive. I would definitely stay here again. Plenty of free parking and very comfortable beds.
