It's too bad that many of your accommodations weren't up to par. Hopefully they've been fixed up. It looks like a beautiful place though, even with the problems. :)Betty @ scrambled henfruithttp://scrambledhenfruit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672100529698740014.post-49847146217393071562011-06-24T09:44:03.450-04:002011-06-24T09:44:03.450-04:00Beautiful water and panoramas!
