An exceptionally luxurious hotel experience with a fabulous view
Pros:

We were blown away by the luxuriousness of our room. We were not expecting the king-sized bed, the tray of macrons and fresh fruit, or the fabulous view of the marina.

We were also grateful that we could keep our car in the garage for a little while after our checkout, as we had business to complete in town.

Pros:

Bom pequeno-almoço, com variedade de fruta.
Excelente localização.

Cons:

A quantidade de luz que entra no quarto logo às primeiras horas da alvorada.
As cortinas black-out são de tecido espesso e compridas, mas a ligação entre as cortinas e a calha deixa um espaço aberto por onde entra luz (eliminando o efeito black-out). Impossível descansar a partir das 6:00 a.m.

Pros:

Breakfast was pretty good; I especially liked thge rooftop restaurant where the breakfast was served.

Cons:

Garage was really tight - parking the car there as well as getting out was a tough chore - if you plan to park there, opt for a smaller car.
