Was great, will definitely come again.
Pros:

The restaurant doesn't have competition and is extremely expensive, besides that I enjoyed my stay.

Cons:

Please have the door to the balcony covered, I didn't like being in a room with an uncovered glass door.

Disappointing
Cons:

The place was too small for the family especially for the price we paid, no sleeper couches. The apartments are over valued. Very uncomfortable for the kids. But good for couple gateway.

Pros:

The whole estate is beautiful, the swimming pools and water activities was awesome, room were clean and well thought through, they catered for everything we needed in a self catering place, the host was friendly and communicated through out our stay

Cons:
