Fikk ikke havsutsikt fra rommet i første etasje. Jeg liker å gå på balkongen og ta et glass vin og nyte en god tobakk om kvelden. Det var derfor en stor nedtur at det ikke var informert før jeg bestilte at røyking kun var tillatt på avgrensa områder. Personellet var hyggelige, og også oppmerksomme, noe som kan være en sjeldenhet enkelte steder. Jeg savnet egg og bacon i frokostbufféen.
