Having great nights sleeping on their comfy beds and waking up to perfect sun filled days was enough, but starting the day off with their delicious complimentary breakfast and sitting in one of their many courtyards with the birds chirping, the flower boxes overflowing with blooms and gazing at the ocean and well cared for grounds was like a dream.
