“Best Spot On The Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2008

The villas are on one of the nicest beaches on the west coast. Lovely sandy bottom with some coral off to the side of the beach with plenty of space for lounging on the sand. The only problem is that the villas do not allow you to take the sun beds onto the beach, therefore the only option is to sit on a towel, not a big problem, but if you are elderly it might be an issue.

The villa I stayed at is well furnished with comfortable beds and seating areas with one on the patio overlooking the pool and gardens. The only part of the villa that was run down was the shower of the master bedroom and the entire bathroom of the smallest bedroom. Both really need to redone.

Staff were very pleasant. The cook did quite a good job but never came up with any menu suggestions, even when you asked her, so it really was up to you. I also found the quality of the food at the supermarkets quite poor. Next time I will pre order from a website I came across that imports all their meat and chicken from the US. The maid was wonderfull and did a splendid job and washed any clothes she found in the hamper.

These villas are a wonderful option for a family who don't want to book several rooms at a hotel. Pool is quite a good size and only a few feet from the villa, the beach is just beyond that.

Security is on duty from 6pm to 6am and I saw them often walking the grounds. All the doors and windows have bars/grills for safety.

All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Stayed July 2008

We stayed at villa number 1. Fantastic, we went to a wedding in August ,planning to go back in Feb. The staff Pam and Maisie were welcoming and had a wicked sense of humour. Pam was a great cook. The pool was fab, the beach on the doorstep and just a short drive to shops and cocktails at Scarlets Bar and also not far from Suga Suga.
Well worth a visit...
