Housekeeping customer service was good. The only downside was there were two big spiders in the bed. The staff at the restaurant was soooo slow and my 3 drinks were not made right after waiting 20mins and I was the 2nd person in line. Alot of the shops were also closed.

Was a perfect stay, the golf course view was beautiful from our room. The options of pools to go swimming in was great, even had a pool slide, the pools also have bars for drinks of your desire. Our room had everything you could need for a romantic stay. The villa was well equipped with all the homey essentials for cooking and a washer/dryer in unit. The Grill to eat was nice and the bar was well supplied with a nice bartender. Made me think about possibly buying into a time share. Requested info about that but still waiting, seems needing to go to a presentation is needed... even when your already sold on the idea.
