Gorgeous setting. Close to town but far enough away to be serene. Super apartment style, amazing grounds and amenities. Better than a hotel for sure.

2 bedroom villa was spacious. Cannot comment on pools or grounds as we visited off season. Breakfast plentiful and delicious. Kitcen not very well supplied for cooking meals , but we managed. The glass wall in one of the showers was not connected in any way to the tub, so the bathroom ended up totally flooded; housekeeping did not replace the towels we soaked from mopping it up.

Fabulous 5* resort. Sadly the indoor pool was closed. We received an appropriate gesture.

This is an excellent complex which we have stayed at many times. All rooms are large with a separate Kitchen/lounge as well as large bedrooms.
