"We only stayed for one night but wished we had stayed for more. The in-room food service was excellent. The grounds surrounding the hotel were beautiful and we really enjoyed walking to the beach which is spectacular. Generally the staff were very accommodating but the breakfast staff probably need to be trained a little bit more. Overall we loved the hotel."
