We spent 14 idyllic days at East Winds in March. I would simply say that all that has been said about its excellence and the lovely folk that provide the wonderful service is true! Our first action on our return was to secure our booking for 2014 - need I say more?

I'd had reservations about staying somewhere "all inclusive" but the very high quality of everything, and the fact it's really ALL included made it very relaxing and absolutely hassle-free.
