The accommodation was excellent. It was very clean and comfortable. The food was top-notch. I had an incredible breakfast. The staff was very friendly and willing to help in any way. I skipped one breakfast (I was meeting friends) and the staff checked to see if I had done that in error and were willing to get something for me. Incredible service!!! Thank you!
