Nice
Stay was great. Nice and relaxing. Didmt get to stay at that hotel due to renovation stayed the harbor house. My only complaint is I think when they're doing their breakfast.They should have an attendant watching.There was people touching the food and then not taking it to their plate and tons of coughing going on
