Service with a smile.

Fantastic service from being greeted at the door to pool bar and room service. Relaxing. convenient and comfortable. My daughters 40th and she was treated with a lovely cheese platter, champagne on ice and maccaroons which was sweet. Oh I also got 2 free cocktails on arrival to enjoy at the pool bar. My only advice though if you have any difficulty walking or a poor sense of direction it could be tricky. Awesome place to stay.
