"The hotel was fantastic. One of our favourite places to stay. The major issue though is the lack room we booked was an interior room with no widow. This is very clearly stated on the actual beachcomber website but it's nowhere on the hotels.com page. The hotel were super helpful but it was very frustrating. Completely the fault of hotels.com"
