Such a beautiful place! We had a great time riding bikes around the island.
Arrived off the ferry at noon not expecting to be able to check in, but definitely assuming we would be seated for lunch. My wife and I, along with two other couples who arrived the same time as us, were told there were two large parties in the restaurant at the hotel and the staff could not serve us...at all! This was very disappointing. We were directed to another "restaurant" (the only other on the island!) for lunch down by the harbor and no reservations were needed. With a positive attitude, we hopped on the "complimentary" bikes and headed to the harbor. What we found was the harbor store with numerous touristy type items to purchase. The kind girl behind the register pointed us to a refrigerated case that had sandwiches for us to purchase. We took the last two ham and cheese (gouda!) sandwiches and a bag of chips and had lunch down by the harbor. I must admit it was a mumble, yet nice experience. Back at the hotel I shared with the manager what had happened and I hoped his dinner staff would make our 30th wedding anniversary dinner (yes, we had reservations thankfully!) a little extra special for the inconvenience at lunch. She said, "Of course! You are staying here and we want to accommodate your needs to the best of our ability" Dinner was superb, but there was not extra special effort to make the $250 (wine and tip included) meal a special one. Overeall...the website we used over exaggerated the wow factor for this establishment.
