The honeymoon suite WAS large and beautifully furnished. IT had an amazing view. The complimentary wine early evening in the stylish lounge was nice.
The carpet in the room NEEDS replacing. The shampoo and conditioner were half full. Residue was on the lid. The swimming pool is not much bigger than a plunge pool.
