I liked my very nice and comfy junior suite and enjoyed lovely breakfasts during my stay with a view of the freeform pool. The hotel has the fine dining Montana restaurant. Helmed by a dynamic and youthful Chef, it serves delicious meals with nice wines to match. The Asparagus Soup in a yoghurt drink bottle is outstanding with a crusty Black Pudding Bon Bon skewered by a colourful straw! I also liked the garden-fresh Petit Pois or garden peas.
