Disliked: Staff & service
Was ignored at restaurant entry for 15 minutes - then after seating myself was ignored for another 20mins at the table. No apology offered. Menu misleading Ordered 55 day aged fillet - was not aged meat & was not correctly trimmed prior to cooking. Staff (with the exception of housekeeping staff) were not friendly or welcoming. Overall I've had better service experiences at McDonalds than this hotel & restaurant.

The villa was wonderful—gorgeous views, a nice living area with a good kitchen. There were good coffee options in the kitchen and necessary utensils. The spa/jacuzzi was quite nice after a long day, and you could also enjoy a view from the tub. The in unit washer and dryer was nice to have.

Very nice spot and loved the villa. Stayed here before and it was perfect. There was a knocking sound in the gas fire chimney or thereabouts which kept us up and was annoying but otherwise the stay was great.
