"Booked for family of 5, 2 rooms, lovely and spacious. But surprisingly there was not an extra bed just a sofa and extra sheets not extra quilt! But room clean and comfortable. Breakfast, there was a good variety. Pool available and pleasant. Location a little disappointing as beach good for views but really noone used it and there was no amenities to speak of there. I would say for me restaurants for dinner of lesser standard than other 4* hotels we have attended, comparatively cost to restaurants particularly in Georretown extortionate for quality offered. Regardless staff very nice and helpful."
