Pros:

Wonderful breakfast. Beautiful views of the water from our rooms. We had easy walks to town for some really nice dinners. The night staff gave us good suggestions and directions to or food.

Cons:

Our room was just a bit dated and well used. The soap dispenser was empty and the night staff had no key to the supply room. It seemed like there was only one person working the whole hotel when we checked in. We had to wait around for a while. He was exceptionally kind and helpful when he did get to us.
