a good stay with lovely views
golf course ceiling windows excellent breakfast
The upgrade to a room overlooking the golf course was special, i could see the west sands beach from the ceiling to floor windows. the large bedroom had a nice seating area. It was perfect for relaxation. breakfast was a treat with excellent choices, i savored every moment.
the standard channels on the tv did not operate correctly, a minor inconvenience.

obstructed view large building
the breakfast was fine (nothing special) and the location is pretty central.
I was disappointed because the room i booked, the 'king room sea view,' actually had a very obstructed view. i could barely see the sea because a large building was directly in front of my window. I felt misled by the description.
