"Really enjoyed our stay here, that we extended our stay an extra two days. We traveled as two adults with a baby and the hotel was very family friendly. They had a crib placed in our room and the restaurant had high chairs. There being a very shallow kiddy pool and pools toys were an added bonus. We loved the location, it was very central, but definitely need a car to get around."

"Really gorgeous compound to stay on and relax. Lots of pool options and beach was beautiful. Easy to drive places and go to surrounding towns and wineries. Meals were not great though, only good spot was the pool restaurant by the gym. Rooms need to be updated especially the bathrooms. Also they should do some type of spraying for mosquitos as that was quite bad. Otherwise staff was wonderful and it felt like a luxury experience from the service and amenity side"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place for our honeymoon. The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well equipped. We especially appreciated the thoughtful layout, with a separate room for the shower and sink and another separate room for the toilet. The bathrobes and mini refrigerator were also lovely touches that made our stay even more comfortable. The location was perfect, close to the centre of the village, which was full of life and had a wonderful family atmosphere. Even though the village was lively during the day, it was never noisy at night, allowing us to enjoy peaceful and restful evenings. We also loved the convenience of having stores nearby, with some staying open until midnight. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable place to stay for our honeymoon. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and well-located place to stay."
