Just a personal peeve, but unless you're doing something fancy with your text, use text, not images.
I agree with the others - it's a bit dry. For this type of website, especially starting out, I'd suggest going for a design with a bit more pop.
ETA: Just read KTrain's post. If all you're doing is using a free wordpress theme, why ask for feedback on the site? You can google a hundred comments on the other hundred websites that look exactly the same. Ask for feedback on the business idea.

Thanks for all the comments.
The site is very dry and not much content or functions at this point. It is using a free WordPress template, which I find quite simple but clean and eventually would be modifying the overall look and feel.
MickMcGeough, you are absolutely right in that I should of and meant to ask for feedback business/purpose of the site versus the overall appearance (but I value that input as well).
The idea is to provide an actual view of the hotel,restaurant, shops, etc... with no fancy picture edits provided by the business owners, using Google's StreetView functionality. A more honest impression of the surroundings. I've traveled quite a few places and booking online can be sometimes a hit and miss. The online pictures provide amazing views, but when you arrive there is a 7-11 neon sign blinking away.
Eventually, I'll be looking to incorporate an events calendar and a deals/specials section....possibly an Ask a local forum.
Thanks again to all the feedback, I really appreciate it.
BTW: I too thought that the Twitter tag at the top right should of read "follow us
on Twitter", w=it will be changes soon enough.
