Pros (+) The 5 star rating is generally well deserved. The long delay and poor service experienced in the Lighthouse Restaurant was atrocious. Five meal selections that were not complex too prepare and poor table service. Our party of three where seated lomg before a table of five, who .were served before us.

Cons (-) With the exception of the Lighthouse Restaurant the hotel and staff deserve it's five star rating. The facilities are well maintained and staff are helpful without being patronising. I would recommend this hotel to my friend's and family. I would recommend the Lighthouse Restaurant to my enemies!
