I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the comfort of the villa.

Overall, it was a good experience, but the connectivity needs some serious attention.

I had a lovely stay in a spacious One-Bedroom Villa that was well-maintained and peaceful. The grounds were beautifully kept and offered a fantastic environment. However, the shower pressure was a bit low, and the on-site restaurant was closed on a Monday night, which was unfortunate. Overall, I enjoyed my experience, and it was great value for money.

5.8/10

Our stay was a bit underwhelming overall, as we found the rooms clean but quite dated and lacking in a few essential amenities. The peaceful atmosphere and well-kept grounds were highlights, but the limited facilities and noise from neighboring units were disappointments. While the location was serene, it was quite a distance from nearby attractions. The resort has potential, but it feels stuck in the past in some aspects.

I enjoyed my stay at this resort, especially since it offered spacious and comfortable rooms with great amenities. The breakfast was plentiful and satisfying. However, I did find the layout of the villas less than ideal, as the shared doorway setup could be misleading for some guests. Overall, it’s a lovely spot for gatherings and families with great value for money.

I had a decent stay overall, enjoying a spacious and quiet villa with all the essentials. The value for money was definitely there, especially considering the great amenities like tennis courts. However, the Wi-Fi connection could use improvement, and the pool could have been cleaner. Overall, I would consider returning for the price and comfortable stay.
