"The view from Tiki Villas is so beautiful, incredible pool/restaurant views in particular but also from each villa, they are all so well situated. The recent renovation is really well done with fantastic indoor/outdoor bathrooms and super comfortable beds. I think some finishing touches are still being done but I have no doubt it will be fantastic when finished. Staff are all friendly and the food is excellent - wonderful breakfast and really inventive dinner dishes."
