8/10 Good
"The property is amazing! Incredible views, great amenities, good breakfast buffet. My only disappointment was the lack of sound proofing in the rooms. We could hear everything our neighbors did or said. We heard their wake up call like it was in our room! Also, they were night owls and we are early risers so the kept us awake when we were trying to sleep. I would suggest splurging for a villa with no neighbors if you can swing it. Because of the lack of sleep we got while staying there, I wouldn’t book there again."
