This property is great if you want peace and quiet. There is really nothing to do here except swim in the pool. The rooms are a long way from reception, cafe, restaurant and pool. The weather was awful when we were here and there are no covered walkways to get to any of the above.

Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. The prices once there, are a little steep for food and drinks. View from the room was beautiful and nice walk around the resort.
