Our stay was super! The Oyster Box Hotel is wonderful and their staff are excellent. Particular mention has to be made of Tracy the lady who seated us at breakfast each morning. So friendly and helpful and sweet. All the wait staff were great and the pool guys went out of their way to assist and bring towels and drinks and even iced water mist bottles as it was extremely hot. (Although we don't have little ones, I noted that the lifeguards spent hours with the children at the pool each day whilst keeping an eye out on all). Breakfast was a delight each morning and our room was spacious, quiet and lovely.
