10/10 Excellent

We stayed for 10 nights in September and would not hesitate to return if we were in the area . The suites are nice and well equipped . The staff are extremely polite and friendly . During the week they offered a complimentary and varied evening buffet which was very nice . The property was very clean and in a quiet area .
