Thanks, Ngaire, I see what you mean. All the rooms are lovely in their own way. I love room 10! I think you and I must have the same taste.

Ngaire, there were no pictures of the balcony from room 9. I just want to make sure that there is, in fact, a balcony and that it has some form of water view....does it?

Marc, there's pictures of room 9 now. There's definitely a balcony, but can't tell if there's a sea view or not. I think we also have that room (obviously, we're there at a different time) and I'd also be kind of bummed if there wasn't a view of the sea since that's why were there :)

I added more pictures last night Marc so if you go back now you will see room 9. A great room. There is a view of the sea from room nine. The only rooms that FRONT on the ocean are rooms 1 and 2. The other rooms have views over the house to the ocean. Room 11 has a mountain view.

We had the whole house so we had people in every room. Lori and Richard (Ken's brother and sister in law) were in room 10. There is a balcony with a side view of the sea. This room also has a huge wooden closet. You will be happy campers here!!

I have to ask. The picture of the dinner table, with the tall vases holding roses. Are those roses totally under water? And are those eggs floating above the roses? And if so, why?

Yes, those roses are actually under water. Not sure about the eggs question I need to look at the picture again. Whatever they did was really innovative and beautiful. The table settings were wonderful.

Pam I think they were candles floating above. Our bed may be small in room 2 (double bed), but what a view to wake up to!!! I can't wait. anyway, gil and I aren't married so we might actually enjoy the smaller bed. <img border="0" alt="[naughty]" title="" src="graemlins/naughty.gif" />

Arlene, I covet your balcony and the view! I don't think room 3 has a patio or balcony but it has a GREAT bathroom!

The hotel looks fabulous. Room 1 looks perfect for two honeymooners like Mitch & I. The table was beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

I think Ngarie told me 8 and 6 were outstanding (upstairs with balconies) and 5 also great has private plunge pool and patio (pool not heated so it is cold) and very sunken bathtub which might be difficult for some to navigate - but you're a kid so no problem
