Reviewer Type: Extended Group

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Excellently run establishment in great area.

Negative: Small comments to improve. Buffet dinner hot dishes could be kept warmer for later diners. A Tipping box to leave a gratuity for all staff rather than individual donations.

Summary: Wonderful experience.
