Returned for 5 nights of our Golf Expedition at the end of April and were welcomed with open arms as usual. The rookie of our party was overwhelmed by the views, the rooms, the breakfasts - by it all. Andre & Bessie were as accommodating as ever, The Albatros really is a diamond!

Our room had a balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean and we even managed to see a few dolphins... More
