Acceptable Accommodation

I found the location to be pretty central. The two bedroom villa was quite clean. I appreciated that the villa had everything we needed for our stay.
I discovered the WiFi did not work. The front desk provided poor service when I inquired about it, I was dismissed. I was told to phone the 0800 number, they are very good.

Wonderful Family Stay!

comfortable bedessential equipmentshower curtain
The refurbished room impressed me greatly. The bed was supremely comfortable, and the kitchen had all the essential equipment (making meal prep easy).
I found that the beautiful room I booked did not quite match its description. A piece of Formica was missing in the shower, and the shower curtain stuck to me, a bit unpleasant.
