This is a stunning property. Everything was perfect. It was quiet and peaceful. The whole complex as a whole very well looked after certainly a 5 star holiday. Personally I don't think I would like to stay if a Wedding was taking place as it would be extremely busy. However out of season it is a perfect get away.
