Wilton River Suites
This has to be our number one choice, we would have happily stayed and lived here.
Wilton River Suites is an adults only property with beautiful one or two bedroom suites combining the luxury you would expect from a suite, with the comforts of home.
We stayed in a one bedroom suite and imediately fell in love with the decor, the size of the suite and all the thoughtful touches such as a cocktail making set to start our vacation the right way!
There is fully equipped kitchen so we enjoyed preparing breakfast and having this on our balcony looking out over the river and the beautiful living area was perfect to relax in and shake off our jetlag.
