10/10 Excellent

This hotel was beautiful. The photos didn’t do it justice. The facilities were great, the included breakfast was tasty and the included yoga was also an excellent start to each morning. It was disappointing that Expedia showed photos of the larger villa rooms listed under the smaller room type, so the room type booked was not as pictured.
