The Residence Resort & Spa Retreat

The private pool out back was a great place to unwind, and the waterfall feature made it even harder to leave. Everything is in a really tranquil area, well away from the hustle and bustle. The villa has loads of equipment, including plenty of kitchen appliances and a fully working washing machine, which is especially handy in the clammy weather. You can settle in and order a villa here, then stay put until checkout. Amazingly comfortable.

The first four-bedroom villa hadn't been cleaned, and its pool was out of action. They moved us to a three-bedroom place without fuss and quickly refunded the difference. The second villa was nice.

We got a surprise upgrade to a one-bedroom plunge-pool room, and the accommodation had everything we needed. The food was great, and having breakfast delivered to our room each morning was handy. All the staff were really kind and helpful, especially Ning, who took great care of us and helped with what we needed. My wife and I had a fantastic four days here. It's a lovely spot for relaxing, and I'd definitely come back. If you're after lots of activities and places to hang out, though, this probably isn't the place. Thanks for making it a wonderful trip!

The staff were friendly and helpful, and our villa had a large private pool that was great for a family with kids. Tesco and some markets are about a ten-minute walk away. A few things need maintenance, but it was a good place to spend a few days. I booked five nights.
