The only problem is that you need to have money and lots of it to go here as the items are mostly designer type items and the spa treatments are a pretty penny and unfortunately you can't really go in to one part without wanting to step into the other!

The seagulls are obviously aware of where the food is but other than risking being crapped on the balcony was a good choice we felt.
