"Very quiet and peaceful. Staff excellent. Only improvement I would recommend is have the minibar be used for the all-inclusive package. If I want to hang out at the villa, I don’t want to have to walk 1/2 a mile to get a drink from the bar when everything I need is right there in the room. Otherwise, outstanding."
