Wonderful location but......

Location is fabulous and staff attention to detail is really good. The quality of furnishings in the rooms lets this hotel down as does the room decor. Wifi costs are very high and only tiny amounts of data can be downloaded. Few activities are available in the hotel and local area when it rains.
