Ok so what’s up with the sparkling wine bottle!? I read other reviews and they are correct. I asked for the wine at check in and was told it would be delivered to my room at 5pm. Never showed up. I decided not to try and ask for anything during my stay for fear of getting disappointed and or angry. When checking out I asked and was told to go across to the restaurant and ask for it. Too little too late. Everything else was excellent

We had the premier King bed room with an wesome direct ocean view just like in the pictures. We fell asleep with sound of the ocean waves. Room was a little dated but clean with a small fridge, small dining table. There was even a wood stove with logs provided. Swimming pool was slightly cool but okay enough to swim. Hot tub there to warm you up. Their restaurant available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Walks on the beach if you wish. Overall, a wonderful stay.
