Lovely spot, feels like you are somewhere exotic with all the greenery, close to town, good option for using public buse
Pros:

The central area where the pool is situated is lovely. Check in was quick and easy with the helpful staff. The room was large, bed comfortable and the seating area outside the room was very nice and we were entertained by many iguanas on-site. Tv was adequate, aircon worked well. The breakfast was in a good spot overlooking the gardens and pool and they had a good selection.

Cons:

Out the back of the room was a supermarket and deliveries were quite noisy. The doors to the rooms were too long and the scrapping on the floor was annoying, nothing guests could do to stop, they need planing?
