Comfortable Villa Stay
private pool great size cute staff friendly staff garden villa fine villa frequent power power outage flat tires bike tires hot spa uncomfortable spa
The Garden Villa was fine. Our private pool was a great size for swimming. The staff was cute.
The power went out frequently . Our bikes initially had flat tires. They were swapped after a complaint. The spa's lack of power made the couples massage uncomfortable due to the heat.
