"Wonderful relaxing stay. Staff are very helpful and nice. 2 bedroom villa was amazing with all the amenities. Only note is that the showers and toilets are outside the room, but still private. It’s great for washing up after the beach and keeping sand out of the rooms. Also, floors in the public areas (reception, restaurant, bar) are sand, so no need to bring fancy heels!"
