Wonderful

Great two bedroom suite with two bathrooms attached however shower was old and couldn’t adjust or remove head piece.
Birds nesting in wall and made noises in the night and chirping early in the morning.
We booked the villa out for Christmas!! With an ocean view and it was all worth it!!! The scenery from the Villa was amazing. !! Will definitely be booking again !!!
View from villa is amazing, our two-bedroom villa has all the rooms facing the ocean with great view, and is very well maintained. Services are very limited- front desk seems never pick up internal phone calls; after we reached them with our local cellphone, the service they promised never showed up…also never mentioned from resort information that they don’t provide daily room clean service and if you want it would be extra charge.
Breakfast buffet is okay but was very crowded and we waited 5 minutes to get a small table, but no one came to clean the table and we had to go get cutlery from servant ourselves.
Perfect place to get away from the busy city life - From the warm and welcoming greeting we received from the lovely receptionist to the beautiful accommodation. The views from the villa was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend! Thank you to the wonderful staff and service!
I had a wonderful time away just what I needed . I see other reviews saying the villa Rooms were tired but honestly mine was fine and I stay in lots of accommodation .
The online room service ordering system didn’t work . How am I surprised but by phoning the restaurant this was easy overcome and they were most help indeed .
All the staff we interacted with were lovely. The chalet we stayed in was spacious and had everything you could need but the rooms were a little tired if that is something that matters to you. The views are truly spectacular. We will definitely be back.
