Bring a sweater for the ferry, the air conditioning is much too strong. Everyone should take out their towels to use as blankets... Otherwise, it's a beautiful island, nothing to complain about.

Response from provider

May 25, 2025

We sincerely thank you for your review and are delighted to hear that you found the island beautiful! It is a pleasure to know that your stay on the island was a success. However, we are sorry to hear about the discomfort you experienced on board the ferry due to the air conditioning. Your comment is very relevant and we will pass it on to the company immediately.
