The room didn't have a fridge nor a safe. The toilet seat was a danger as it kept moving in use. Apart from that it was a lovely stay. The staff were very friendly and courteous.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

A stunning spot.

Staff were superb. The food was of a high quality. The room was without a view and airless - even with the window open and the doors were noisy and so sleep is disturbed. The setting is stunning. Children were allowed to run around and play in the lounge and bar area. Suggest an activity space for them so they are not allowed to disturb other guests.

Need new beds (mattresses were warn with broken springs) and shower enclosures need updated. Also the first floor windows have little to no security when open (no air conditioning) and can be opened completely if someone was seeking to enter your room.
