Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-20

Guests consistently praise the attentive staff and delicious, varied dining, alongside clean rooms and well-organized activities. A two-night stay is highly recommended for a quieter experience. Common drawbacks include the boat remaining anchored rather than sailing deep into the bay, crowded attractions and queues, early or tight schedules, and minor cabin maintenance issues such as firm beds or outdated fixtures.
