“For cruise travelers, the 8.0/10 Booking com rating is a positive booking signal. The free shuttle serves the cruise terminal, with a time slot and ticket arranged through the front desk the day before departure. However, nearby military activity includes fighter jets taking off at 7:30 a.m. and helicopters audible until 10 p.m.”

weed smell unhelpful staff
the breakfast selections were acceptable and offered some variety.
the room's air conditioning emitted a heavy weed smell when it kicked in and it was concerning. the reception staff wasn't helpful in resolving the issue and seemed indifferent to my concerns. i had to wait for someone to turn the air con off, then i received a dismissive explanation about the balcony door, never opened.
