There are pluses and minuses, but no where near the 5 star review. Plus-Kerwin, Simeon, Miriam, Mavis, Fina and Windell seemed genuinely happy at their jobs, and interested in us.

There is a fantastic fusion of flavours and ingredients used (e.g. Beetroot & star anise soup, herb ice-cream with poached pear). The setting is perfect, by the beach with good water sports facilities. Such a relaxing... More

Also land crabs in little burrows everywhere in the gardens. Delicious food in the beach-side restaurant and pleasant, smiley staff. We did lots of Hobbiecat... More
