Breakfast was ok. Suite was outstanding and view to die for. Superb service." - "it was our third stay and one of my favourite hotels in the world. I love watching the boats passing by and all the bird and bat life at sunset. It is luxury but with class, not glitzy. The trees, gardens and pool are a delight. Staff are there when you need them but not intrusive. Just perfect."
