We were lucky enough to stay in the executive suite which is a large luxurious suite with its own pool and sauna. The attention to detail is excellent and they literally anticipate your needs. The food is sublime and the resident chef Thelma is a culinary wizard!!! The manager and staff Tracy and Jolene are hugely attentive and very entertaining.
