Pros:

Excellent location near the city but far enough. Excellent landscaping and green space. A 5 min walk to walkable waterfront. Excellent breakfast. Nice front desk staff, especially Dorine, who always has a smile!

Cons:

A jacuzzi would have been great. Perhaps more items rotated during breakfast.
