User Comments/Reviews:

Anonymous says:Not a great place to stay and VERY expensive. The villas are vile - they may look good on the outside, but they are unfinished shells. The kitchen has NOTHING in it. The fridges don't work. The aircon only works if you turn the lights off and visa versa. They are set outside the resort and around 2 kms from the pool etc. They were dirty - bugs all over the bath. My husband got locked in the bathroom. Definitely NOT a place I would go to again.
