"The accommodation was luxurious, and stunning. The only negative feedback was the tiles around the pool area are extremely dangerous when wet, we did have a guest slip and hurt her knee and the water views in the advertisement does not match the views at the accommodation for this particular property. How ever we will definitely be back to stay again as it is beautiful."
