Very friendly reception when we arrived. Our unit was lovely and warm. Amazing views. Meal in the restaurant was delicious.
Beautiful well equipped apartment, with incredible views
Great amount of room
Food was good but took an incredibly long time. Felt understaffed. At times needed to interrupt staff chatting to be talked to
Exceptional food. Wonderful service. Nicky was fabulous.
Everything. The accommodation and restaurant were perfect.
The place is so cozy, feel like at home.
Location. Staff.
This is not a 5 star resort in that the villa is on need of maintenance, especially the walls and doors. They need painting. Very bad wear and tear.

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
