Wonderful Stay with Sea Views!

friendly staffreasonable roomlighting system
I enjoyed a short walk to the town center. The continental breakfast was good (especially the pastries!). The staff were very friendly, and my room was reasonably clean. I was kinda surprised that the single room felt larger than expected.
I found the lighting and switching system in my room to be a bit confusing. The lack of clear instructions made it difficult to operate everything efficiently. Perhaps a simple guide could be provided to improve this experience .

I loved the unique cruise ship decor. It was such a fun surprise! The breakfast terrace had amazing views, I spent ages there savoring the food. The fitness centre was also amazing. It included a complimentary sauna, a swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. The complimentary gin in my room was an extra special touch!
The walk into town included a steep slope, I would have liked to know that beforehand.
