    The villa with the private pool was beautiful and perfect for our two young children. The rooms were of good size and the facilities in the room were good too, jacuzzi bath, shower, air conditioning etc. The staff were (mostly) also excellent. Very welcoming and friendly. There were daily check ins via WhatsApp, which was a nice touch, and a portable WiFi device was provided on arrival, which worked very well.
