Yes I stayed at the Lighthouse in May, stayed there twice last year, the apartments are just as lovely - they still look brand new!

There are a few changes to the staff this year, and yes you're right, Tony Macaroni has moved back to the Champagne Bar, but Rose, Jimmy and Gerald are still there. Great crew - all of them.

I love these apartments, they're like a home from home. In May we were on the 2nd floor in the roof with the sloping ceilings - so much room though and it was lovely to be completely private - you could have been out on the balcony with nothing on and nobody would ever have known

Well with a party of 9 it sounds as if you're going to have lots of fun! I'm flying out on the 20th August for a fortnight staying at the Mandalin but have already booked a week at the Lighthouse for next May.

Have a fab time, you must be counting the hours, I know I am! Might see you eating there one night
