This is a jewel of an accommodation! Hoping to be back with my family some day. The location was perfect, the reception staff friendly, everything was sparking clean and so well organised. Free water and milk, and daily housekeeping, were extras we didn’t expect but much appreciated! The views from penthouse were spectacular.
