Orchid Overnight Superyacht
Overall I really enjoyed this unique place to stay!! I would say it was pretty clean minus finding leftover food in a drawer was pretty frustrating. The breakfast was also overall good!! The one main downfall was the bar/club across the street played music extremely loud till 2 am on Friday night ...
