Summary: Beautiful views for the waterfront 2 bedroom suite. Large rooms, good stone materials but the layout was clumsy. The AC unit was in the living room, but there were no air vents in the master bedroom. The master bedroom had a sink in the middle of the room off to the side, which made entry to the separate shower and separate toilet, awkward. These rooms used to have a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave and stove top. Now just a small refrigerator and tea kettle.
