Superb
Pros:

Staff, cleanness, location

Cons:

Villas did not have any views as opposed to regular rooms, also was looking forward to more restaurants in the resort, the cafe in the lobby area had limited working hours, if you wish for a hot drink you should either go to the only restaurant in the hotel or order in-room dining.
