quiet beach trained staff delicious lunch

The grounds included a superb quiet beach. It overlooked the bay and offered great views (I liked it). The staff were well trained and helpful. I enjoyed the golf course and a delicious lunch at the club.

Our room smelled damp. I think there is a real issue with humidity and potential mould.
