Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window can be tight — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient if your flight or ferry arrives late.
  • No pets allowed — The resort does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Limited nightlife — The resort is quiet and private, with live entertainment but no bar scene beyond the on-site lounge.
  • Pay for extras — Airport shuttle is paid, and while parking is free, some services like laundry and car hire come at an additional cost.
