I also have to mention that the staff were absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much and they all loved our little girl. Sometimes you worry about staying in luxury hotels that babies are not welcome, well more could not be said about the opposite. They were all coming up asking for a cuddle and telling us about their kids.
