8.6/10 Excellent! (368 reviews)

Yes on both accounts. If guests ask for a place to eat the staff should recommend the Thai restaurant 3/10 of a mile away. Easy walk and most importantly excellent food at good prices and the staff was amazing!!!

9/10 Wonderful! (489 reviews)

Everything about my stay was wonderful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was spotless. The view was incredible—I could even see when the cruise ships came in. The food at the restaurant was delicious; I had the salmon, and it was cooked perfectly. They also have a great selection for dinner. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and it’s easy to walk around and explore. Overall, a 10/10 stay. Highly recommend!
