We joined our friends here for dinner. They were staying. We were not. So I can only comment on the bar and restaurant which were both very good. The vegetable soup of the day was delicious and the freshly caught and prepared salmon main was amazing. Service was excellent and there was a nice ambience. Definitely recommend for a special meal.
