The view of greenery from the room window was lovely.The restaurant, pool, and spa are located in another building, but since I have no sense of direction, it was difficult to get around and I got lost.The layout of the room is not very suitable for families with small children, and I think Sanctuary Villa would have been better if you were traveling with small children.The hospitality is amazing.

It's stylish, the building is beautiful, and the hospitality is perfect.The saunas in both the large communal bath attached to the gym and the large communal bath that requires reservations are too warm, so don't expect too much.
