    The location is on a citrus farm, so it feels like a nice farm stay just 10 mins away from the main road. Food had limited options, but was great. The service was excellent too.

    Breakfast was hearty and delicious. Prompt serving, lovely view and great service. Dinner was also a decent portion and very tasty. Some quiet background music would be lovely.
