9/10 Wonderful! (1,012 reviews)

This hotel has great location right on the marina and with lots of quality restaurants easily accessible from the hotel. Every room comes with a balcony. Garden view rooms are closer to the lifts than the ocean view rooms, for which you may have to walk a fair bit. Breakfast is not included in most room rates on offer. It will cost you an extra 65-70 dollars for two per day.
