"Very large villa. The fans in the bedrooms did not have light covers and you could not turn off the lights so not useable at night. Beautiful landscaping. Breakfast was ok but only one choice, eggs, tortilla chips with sauce, bacon and runny beans. Fruit and yogurt. Fruit juice was fresh and delicious. I would stay here again. Great location."
