We just started a new trainee cleaner the day the guest checked in, but this is no excuse as she was being supervised by a senior cleaner who obviously did not check the quality of her work. We are sorry for this situation and I have given strict instructions that trainees be carefully supervised.

We appreciate the guest's vote of confidence who stayed in our second best suite, the 4.5 Star Beachfront Spa Suite with glorious water views. It is very old world in style, being once the bank office with tin pressed ceiling, and comes with the vault and a huge bathroom that was formerly the bank manager's office. It is chalk and cheese with the modern 5 Star Penthouse.

Thank you. The contactless check-in procedure has been instituted as part of our COVID-19 Safety Plan. Those that are unfamiliar with Penguin will discover that it is a pretty seaside boutique village.
