We were travelling from Australia and had an amazing time at this beautiful resort. The location was perfect and within walking distance to the town. The staff were outstanding and went out of their way to help. A special shout out to the beautiful breakfast staff and the wonderful Alesandra at the front desk. They also did washing for free each day which was amazing! The only small complaint is the showers- the fittings need to be changed as they spread a lot of water on the floor. We would highly recommend this beautiful resort.
