Habitat is the one near the ship. It sits on Port Drive, about 1.9 km from our jetty pin, the nearest of our ten, and the resort lists two main pools.
That’s what scores. The kitchens, washer-dryers and deposit come from Hotels.com, a booking platform, so they earn nothing. Whether there’s food on site we couldn’t confirm either way.
It suits a family that wants space. Confirm the kitchen, the deposit and the check-in window with the resort.
Book it if
- You want the shortest straight line to the port
- You need a two- or three-bedroom unit with a kitchen
- You’re happy to cook the night before
Look elsewhere if
- You need a restaurant confirmed on site
- You want Chinatown on foot
