The breakfast was superb, a choice of cereals and fresh fruit with yogurts, selection of cold meats and cheese and fresh pastries and bread, followed by a freshly well cooked and presented hot breakfast. We had to be out by 8am one morning for a trip and they prepared an early breakfast for us that was the same as normal. The ground floor room was large and gave out to a delightful shaded garden, the bathroom with all the normal amenities was massive with large shower and bath. The hosts were attentive and had information to hand. The public rooms on the 1st Floor opened onto balconies that gave lovely views over the lagoon. A nice walk along the lagoon into Wilderness of 1km led to numerous places to eat and the other way to several walks into the park. Parking was off road and ample.
