Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had the pleasure of staying in two luxury villas at this hotel, which were absolutely fabulous with a very modern design and tech amenities. The rooms were like a suite, boasting a huge bathroom with a big shower and a standalone footed tub. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the sitting areas were perfect for relaxation.
