Beautiful villas but restaurant service needs work!
Pros:

The villas are beautiful and the property has excellent potential, staff are very nice. Good AC and wifi. My bungalow however was under so many trees that my pool was in constant shade and had tons of leaves and debris in the pool n lounging cabana. They do clean it but because the water is very cold when its in the shade its not great for sunbathing.

Cons:

Hot water in shower didn't work, I got sick from food from the restaurant a few times during my stay. Bkfst buffet is not that great, it needs work. Service at the restaurant needs work. Location is very isolated so if you don't have a car its not really around anything. Workout room is nonexistent its like 1 bike n 1 machine outside and the mosquitos are a real problem.

The service was fantastic. A shout out to Donald who organised with team a surprise birthday set up and cake for our friends birthday. The pool was great with the pool bar. Room was spacious and beds were comfortable.
