The views from our balcony apartment were so amazing, the room was clean and comfortable. Amenities were great, tennis court, sit around a fire pit, views of the town from the pool, just beautiful. Only fault is the lack of pressure in the shower

Worst stay ever
Arrived on a 30 degree plus day, no air con, screen door broken and couldn't be locked so door had to be closed. Went to have a glass of wine and the glasses in the cupboard were filthy. Spoke to the receptionist who exchanged the glasses but could not help with air con. Next day found a fan in the wardrobe. Speaking of wardrobe the clothes put in could not be worn due to the mustiness therein.
