james made sure we had the right room and arranged birthday surprises for my wife. marcus greeted us warmly upon arrival. the room impressed my wife, especially the birthday treats (she loved it!). you could even see the sea from the bath.
I found the tv connection quite poor. It stalled often. turning the tv off resulted in a bright light that stayed on for a long time. there was also a constant noise from the en-suite fan. It never stopped (it bothered me a bit).
