Pros:

The location was much better than the last time. It was more visible at night. Love the view as always. This was our 3rd visit at the hotel and 1 at the Villas. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Simply loved the heated towel rack. Enjoyed the shower. Towels & linen where very clean.
Overall, it was a very peaceful and relaxing holiday. Will definitely go there again.

Cons:

Very bad network. Couldn't get Wi-Fi connection. Security needs to check driver`s license when vehicle is coming in. Need better TV stations. I personally like my rooibos tea at night. I missed that.
