beautiful reception rooftop terrace perfect location good addition

this lovely hotel had a beautiful reception area it was very well thought out. the rooftop terrace was perfect i spent some time catching rays and swimming in the plunge pool there were always plenty of beds up there. the hotel is in a spot on location restaurants castle gardens and the ferry to the beach were within walking distance. i liked the little balconies they were a good addition for drying swimwear and watching the world go by

breakfast was served on a board it was pre-made you had no choice so there were foods i didn't like. it would be better to have a choice of food a buffet would have been much better. the coffee machine produced poor quality coffee and was a disappointment
