Wouldn’t recommend. Not well equipped and strange vibe at night.
Cons:

Terrible system to get in and out. Had to wait over 20 min everytime to enter or leave and need new codes everytime. Lagoon is stunning but you have to pay every time you want to go there, also if you just want to walk and you need somebody to go with you so no freedom. Room is not equipped for self catering for 6, hardly tools to cook, no cuttlery or plates, 4 towels and only 2 chairs outside. No space to hang laundry or swimmingclothes, you get fined if you put it on your balcony. At nights loud cars playing music driving around the park and oeople screaming and drinking- no security that comes to assist.

Pros:

The accommodation was exceptional, It met all expectations and beyond. The view was top tier, so luxurious. The host was very helpful and always available to assist when needed.

Cons:

The security process at the gate is very slow, with guards that seem to be busy with too many things at once. There should be more staff to avoid the slow process and long queues. I'm glad we were early, cause after us the queue to access the property was ridiculous.

The lady at the payment point to access the lagoon is very rude with no customer service. I paid for a 2yr old only to find out she wasn't supposed to pay, and was told later and that there's no refund, with an attitude and that I should've asked her 1st.

Pros:

Everything about the place was beautiful

Cons:

The long queue at the gate to checkin was a nightmare, we waited for over an hour. The host did not communicate in advance relating to the lagoon entrance payment and we had to wait another hour trying to get in, she was responsive on her phone though. Checkout, she didnt communicate in advance regarding the exit codes which in turn made us to wait again.

Pros:

Pool view

Cons:

We came with 2 cars, unfortunately we were offered 1 parking and the car was supposed to look for a parking far from the apartment. Again our bed had only a fitted sheet and a quilt. No flat sheet.

Place is nice and situated in a nice place but they need to make sure the furniture is mended.
Pros:

The views and the place on its own and good vacay vibes, beautiful place.

Cons:

It had a lot of broken stuff, there was a chair broken, sliding door not working toilet sliding door not working as well, and we were offered 2 toilet rolls. Estate management was kind on our arrival, Saturday as well but was very impatient with us when we needed the codes to exit she even dropped our call, we were helped by her husband as we called again.

Exceptional
Pros:

The place was clean and everything was perfect

Cons:

The fact that we are charged a penalty fee of 500 for the noise, and if the apartment caters for a group of 6 people ,then they should expect the noise.
