The rooms at VARU were lovely and very spacious. I was also impressed by the buffet restaurant, which offered plenty of choice with dishes very well presented. I was lucky enough to go on both the stargazing and sunset cruises - both were magical and something I would definitely recommend for anyone celebrating a special occasion.
