“The private villas certainly stand out, especially for families needing space and privacy; each comes complete with its own pool. While the resort is quite expansive and offers unique dining experiences, some areas could use a refresh to truly match the luxury villa experience. Overall, it's a lovely spot that promises relaxation.”
