Pleasant and relaxing
Pros:

Overall the property had a very good vibe, beautiful and well maintained garden, we liked the swimming pool and the cafe. We stayed in an apartment - overall very good but could do with some updates.

Cons:

The position of the air-con in the bedroom was next to the bed which made it impossible to keep it on as it was noisy.
