The staff at the reception were excellent as was the local taxi service. Breakfast was good but not as great as at some other resorts. Price of rooms was reasonable but not exceptional for the quality. Overall a good but not great experience.

Wonderful place. Very magical with the views and treehouse like restaurants and villas. Also loved having our own pool. The gym could use some upgrades and maybe a cable and squat machine but we made due.
