Wonderful
Wonderful hotel, staff are delightful and welcoming, nothing too much trouble, hotel is beautiful with excellent views of the beach and close to all amenities. Food was excellent too, only thing I would say is they should serve the avocado at room temperature before adding to toast with poached egg for breakfast however, aside from that, can’t fault the place and would highly recommend 👌
