"We had a great stay. Such a beautiful location and the hotel was tastefully refurbished since our last visit. The room was superficially clean and I may be picky but it could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom and toilet. The staff, particularly the restaurant staff, were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast choices were great though it would have been helpful to have the buffet items labelled so that we knew what we were choosing! Dinner was excellent each evening we ate there."
