If you have an early start, beware that breakfast is from 8.00am, and we had to order a breakfast box, which isn’t ideal; l have fed back that breakfast should start earlier from 6.30am for a continental style.

Beautiful view, hot tub and a great cross breeze. I our room was a four story walk up, but most are less. Park anywhere available and walk until you find the office as you cannot park anywhere close, so don’t bring a lot of luggage. Breakfast was served in our room and very nice."
