5.0Excellent!

Incredible food and flawless service! Emma and Andrew took such great care of us, and that morning coffee with a view was the best we’ve ever had. Just a quick heads-up for future guests: the activities are somewhat limited and kick off very early (breakfast is at 6:45 AM!). If you love an early start, it’s perfect, but we would have loved a slightly more relaxed morning pace
