"This matter has reached a formal conclusion and we are satisfied with the result.

"We now want to fully focus on looking after our guests."

She defended her decision to sue the hotel in an interview on Monday.

She said: "Just to be clear: I'm not looking for damages - I was only looking to have my medical expenses recouped.

"And I was never looking for compensation".

She added: "I was hurt, I have medical expenses - nobody questions that here".

She explained: "We saw the swings - nobody was drunk, nobody was messing - they're like polished wood these seats.

"I sat in them, I did have a bottle of beer in my hand and next thing I knew I was on the floor.

"I had my beer in my hand, and then I was reaching for my friend's - had a bottle of wine - she was taking her camera out her jacket."
