    There was so much to like about this place! The villa was a bit different to the usual - with a lovely tropical-Japanese vibe. Really well designed villa given the size wasn't that huge. All facilities including kitchenette were cleverly fitted in. BBQ on deck. Lovely environment, garden and pool. Privacy of villa. Extremely comfortable bed. The location is excellent.
