We were amazed with everything on our stay, location is amazing just in front the Spa. The owners and staff are very friendly and hardworking. The masterchef kitcken available to use with more than you need to cook is a game changer. Add on this 2 BBQs with a lot of indoor and outdoor spaces plus a great decoration. Higly Recommended
