The hotel is like a hidden gem, set in private villas with immaculate rooms and beautiful pools and grounds. However, the lack of views makes it feel a bit dark and disconnected from the weather. The dining experience needs improvement but the service is top-notch, creating a comfortable and classy atmosphere.
