Wonderful stay! The spa and staff are just incredible. I highly recommend getting a room by the garden pool. It is so private and beautiful - you can walk out of your room and jump right in!

The rooms were spacious and clean, the bed was really comfortable. We stayed in a villa with the access to the pool which was very convenient and beautiful. Usually very quiet but on the weekend some guest might be noisy.

The effort to clean the room was inconsistent, one day Tuesday it was excellent, the rest of the days was clean towels and the bed made up. The stay was very nice I loved the pool directly off my room.
