The room, parking and the size was excellent. Needed more attention to cleanliness - some mild in shower; dust on bathroom heating system; hand cleanser and body wash very watery? Food was very good; reception and staff very nice Wine list had gaps - our first few picks were all unavailable (they said a wedding cleaned them out!) We were not here for golf but I would stay again and play golf next time.

The outside of our villa needed maintenance. The gutters had vegetation growing out of them, the front door badly needed repainting, and the entrance was covered in birds’ droppings. Inside fine, but beginning to show its age.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
While the setting is great, this place is well past its prime. We had a 3 bedroom villa (222) with stains on the carpet and furniture, an old and lumpy mattress, many stairs, and a TV that didn’t work. There were crumbs and dust, a dishwasher with old food particles, and a lint-filled dryer door. The maintenance at this facility is not close to being on par with 5-star resort. When I complained, they said that they realized that the villa needed work (it should not have been rented!) and provided a bill credit for 2 coffee’s, which we found to be an insult. On the plus side: the view was great and the evening meal was good (though breakfast was adequate). We will not return.
