"This hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was nice, clean and we had a garden balcony. The rooms facing the water would have been ideal and whoever those lucky folks were, I’m sure enjoyed it. The view from the dining area was breathtaking! You need a reservation for dinner so we missed it. The menu looked very appealing though. Breakfast was light fare with coffee, tea, croissants, cereal and fruit. The coast line where the hotel sits was beautiful, straight out of a movie! The staff were super nice and helpful. The hotel arranged for a transfer from the airport to the hotel which made everything very easy for us. The driver was excellent and got us there fast and safely. The other guests were just as nice and friendly. We walked to the boardwalk, had dinner and enjoyed a gelato during the sunset. It was quite picturesque and memorable. The hotel arranged for our transfer from the hotel to our Royal Caribbean cruise making that just as easy. Had I known this was going to be my hotel experience before my Mediterranean cruise, I would have booked an extra day at this hotel! Believe me, several of the other guests said the same thing. This hotel is just what you need right before and after your cruise to catch yourself."
