large pool private beach access local crafts

the hotel has a very large swimming pool. the pathway to the private beach was immaculate (i used it daily). i found the gift shop provided a good selection of items from local craftsmen.

i noticed a small charge for tonic water, which seemed slightly high.

bicycle rentals ample seating evening snacks

The hotel provided bicycle rentals. I enjoyed that activity. the pool area had ample seating with many loungers. i also appreciated the folk music and evening snacks offered (i found them especially relaxing).

the gym lacked updated equipment, slightly disappointing.
