Lovely villas and location

9.0

We had a very relaxing stay at the resort. The villas were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The airport transfers were seamless and communication to and from the resort was excellent. Breakfast was good and the fire show was great. Above all, however, the staff were wonderful and the spa experience was outstanding. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation.

The staff were wonderful! Probably the nicest I've ever encountered at a resort - so nice with the kids, and nothing was too much trouble.

Absolutely incredible

10.0

Fiona, Anthony & all the staff are amazing, they go out of there way to help with anything you need to make your stay memorable. The food and drinks were great as was the fire show on Monday night!

It’s a 30 minute drive from town so a little out of the way, but there are plenty of transport options to get you into town.
