Wonderful. Memorable. Fun. Exciting. Very pleased.
Pros:

The daily offerings for breakfast were great. The hotel was right by the ticket office for all the ferry rides but most of all, the family who owned the property treated us like royalty for the 10 days we were there.

Cons:

Everything was great including the weather despite 3 days of rain.
