We had a delightful getaway at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful harbor views and exceptional service from the staff. The breakfast, especially the spicy eggs benedict, truly stood out and was one of the best I've ever had. However, the price for the room was a bit steep compared to the amenities offered, and we did experience some noise disturbances from outside our room.

The hotel had a beautiful setting and the amenities were quite nice, but I found it to be overpriced for what it offered. The room I booked had a view that didn't live up to my expectations and the overall feel of the place was more like a basic hotel than a resort. However, the dining experience was a highlight with great food and service.
