My family and I enjoyed a relaxing stay at the resort. The villas were comfortable and spacious, with excellent facilities for kids. However, I was disappointed with the slow Wi-Fi and some issues regarding the pool towels, which felt a bit off for a place of this caliber. Overall, it was a lovely vacation but there are some areas that could improve the experience.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The location within beautiful golf courses and the well-stocked on-site supermarket were highlights, but we faced significant issues with our accommodations, which felt more like a low-quality experience. The dining options were commendable, particularly the Italian and Asian restaurants. Next time, I'd definitely request a ground floor unit and more transparency about the facilities.

Our stay at the resort was quite enjoyable, with very spacious and comfortable villas that catered well to our family's needs. The pool area was fantastic, offering a great space to relax.

The resort offers a lovely ambiance with well-kept gardens and a clean environment. The villas are comfortable and spacious, perfect for a family getaway. However, the services promised, like the indoor pool and sauna, were not always available, and the kitchen equipment could use some upgrades. While the price was reasonable for the space, the charges for pool towels and some inconveniences with maintenance dampened the experience a bit.
