defective machines cramped area
The gym equipment was a letdown! Several machines were out of service. It was quite annoying. the breakfast area felt cramped, it lacked variety. It definitely didn't meet my expectations for a hotel of this supposed caliber. It felt more like a 3-star experience.

Reasonable stay near the port

helpful staff breakfast variety luggage assistance insufficient soap
The location was quite useful for accessing the port and pedestrian areas. The morning breakfast had an really good variety. The staff was also super friendly , and I found them helpful.
I booked a Junior Suite with sea view , but I noticed several issues. There was no one to help with the luggage upon arrival. The soap provided in the room seemed insufficient for two people.
