The Restriction on eating in the restaurant was limiting as my husband and I like to share an entree and main meal but this was not permitted as we each had to order a seperate main meal which I found difficult to understand how a restaurant can tell you how you have to order.

Beautiful area. Great view of bay. Most staff outstanding. Only exception - male staff person at desk Friday evening was checking us out early as we were leaving before desk opened Sat AM. Tour leader for large group arrived, and rather than finish checking us out, he had the nerve to ask us to come back later after he finished with group. Fortunately, the visiting tour guide had some manners and sensibility and told him to finish with us first.

our room was nice and roomy. excellent bed and the room was well appointed with mini kitchen, charging pads for phones and huge TV. The view of the ocean was wonderful. It is in a remote area so we had long drives to go see activities. Food at the hotel was limited and the breakfast was expensive for what was available and was not great!.They encourage not getting the room serviced but did not say what to do with the rubbish that built up over 4 days.
