Wonderful Gardens and Great Pools

large gardenhelpful attitudeproblematic road

The resort included a large garden. It was great for walking. The swimming pools are amazing. One suits families, and the other provides quiet relaxation. The staff were cute. They greeted me with smiles and helpful attitudes.

The drive to and from the airport took longer than expected. A pre-booked taxi did not appear, and a replacement resulted in a nail-biting journey. I recommend allowing ample time when travelling to the airport, as the roads can be problematic.

Excellent Stay with Beach Access

We booked the Two-Bedroom Suite Villa. The villa was spacious and very clean. The location was beachfront making it convenient to walk to the beach (this was a great plus!). The breakfast buffet offered plenty of choices. I also appreciated using the gym and participating in a free yoga class.

The only minor inconvenience was the limited playlist at the pool bar. After a week, I knew all the songs by heart.
