The property managers were one of the best. They are very humble and go out of the way to help you. The gentleman was always available to drop us anywhere we needed to go. On the last day he woke up especialy to drop us to the dock at 5 AM. We booked a 4 bed family room and there was ample space for all of us. It had 4 queen size beds.
