The property was fantastic . The booking process via `expedia was very messy - 3 separate debits, two on the same day with a compensating credit the same day - all processed on different dates at different exchange rates. Very unsatisfactory.

Wonderful location made up for what was a bit disappointing as a top rated venue . It was overpriced for what you got .Bin not empty when we arrived .No dinner service available although we were not told that until we arrived . Breakfast very average . That said best views of the coast we experienced.
