I’ve stayed there for 6 nights and it was so peaceful. The area is very quiet and secure. The room was cleaned daily and fresh linens and towels daily.
Esther was lovely, always there looking after us and making sure that we were ok.
Her breakfast every morning was delicious with fresh fruits and juice
I would go back in a heartbeat
