Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We absolutely loved the privacy of the villas, and having our own private pool was a wonderful bonus. With the half-board option, we really enjoyed the variety of set menus for dinner. A standout moment was the private beach dinner arranged for my birthday it was truly phenomenal, especially with the traditional dancers singing Happy Birthday, which made the experience even more special.
Negative: The breakfast menu was quite basic and offered limited variety. We also found that it was largely the same each day, which made it feel a bit repetitive.
Summary: Short & sweet!
