The staff were amazingly helpful. Free bike hire, biking is perfect and safe in the area. They also had a happy hour 4.30 to 6.30 where you can have afternoon tea/coffee or wine with light things to eat too... so generous!! Pool was gorgeous and rooms were very very very nice and spacious.

Great location. The hotel is located just next to the wharf and about 15 min away from the center by walking. Restaurants are nearby. Our room was in another complex, close to the main building of the resort as we asked for a quiet room. Beautiful and comfy room.
