This is the 2nd year we stayed here for the golf tournament at the Resort. So lucky we managed to get a room. We chose to stay here again because of the awesome breakfast (pastries, egg options, cereals, juices, coffees) and all the facilities. It did not disappoint. Our whole family came along so the 3bedroom Villas were nice and roomy. We did not even need to leave the resort. The train ride was number 1 priority for the kids each day and the swimming. So close to all the other places nearby. Would definitely be here again.
