Great place!
Pros:

Great historical place. Wonderful location and excellent services.
Good food. Very friendly staff - good people!
Beautiful sunset and views!

Cons:

In house 1 the WiFi coverage is not sufficient and it only reaches the front door. If you are in bed - no internet :)
No real beach at the hotel. You need to take a boat to the near by beach.
The AC was making a lot of noise during the night - I informed the reception but they told me they could not do anything about it. Also some days there was a noise from the nearby yachts at 5-6 am.

Tranquil setting in a well-located area for walks, restaurants and other attractions
Pros:

Historic charm, understated luxury complemented by a relaxed atmosphere, and great service.

We loved the waterside restaurant and especially the waiter service for breakfast. Much nicer than the buffet breakfast that most hotels offer. On top of this, the setting within a historic dock yard was fantastic, never over-busy but always something happening. We also loved the water taxi, as the resort is on both sides of the harbour. What's more, the taxi will take you to a fantastic beach and beach bar too.

Pros:

Staff, view, lobby, breakfast, pool area and restaurant

Cons:

the room was a little disappointing . We knew it was a Loft in a heritage property but it was a little tight, and the 'view' looked straight out into the Museum area. We found the Boat yard was very active early , so if you like a lie in this is not for you. Fortunately we were early risers, hikers. and swimmers so not a problem.

In the garden by the restaurant is a 'dead water' spot where the column are. It smelt a little and would benefit for some circulation with fresh sea water.

Good old-fashioned hotel with superior restaurant
Pros:

The room was spacious, all appliances were working well, stuff was very welcoming and the breakfast was very good, with a lot of options to choose from.

Cons:

The interior of the room could be improved. It looked rather old, and I didn’t like that the bathroom wasn’t separated by a full-height solid wall. Because of this, it felt quite chilly to take a shower while the room’s air conditioning was on.

I also didn’t like that the door to the barracks was not self-closing, meaning anyone could come in. I would have preferred it to have a door closer and a magnetic lock installed, so that only people with smart cards could enter.

un merveilleux hotel
Pros:

beauté de la maison et de la vue de la chambre, proximité d'une très jolie plage et gentilesse du personnel. Nous avons adoré l'hotel et le conseillerons à nos amis et nos proches sans hésiter. On se sent comme à la maison. Le plus : les massages sont formidables

Cons:

le petit déjeuner est très bien mais c'est la seule chose qui pourrait éventuellement être améliorée
