The location was breathtaking. The accommodations were top notch. I would come back to this relaxing place of peace.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
I’ll start with the space and layout is great! We had multiple families and never felt on top of each other. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the lack of cleaning. The amount of ants, bugs, dust, dirty rugs, and even hair was enough to make us clean some areas before we could relax. That is not what you want on vacation. The location was fine, but beware in the summer with all the lush green trees you have no views.
