From what she described its the sort of place you go to lounge on a sunbed for a fortnight in an all inclusive resort. She went as she was recovering from a major illness and just needed to get away so it was ideal but as a running venue I get the impression that it won't be that great.

Might have a play on google maps and check out the above 'link'. AC - remind me early Aug and I'll let you know wha i think of it.
