    Had the two rooms on the balcony which made all the difference. Able to sit out at the tables and chairs on the upstairs balcony. Food was very good and as expected in SL the service always excellent.

    The room was cute but a little on the small size and the breakfast was nice. Loved the swing chairs to watch the world go by. The balcony overlooked a section of the fort. We enjoyed watching the girls practice for their sports event in the...
