Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location, although be careful of knowing the exact name of the Villa Gala because some Uber people don’t know how to get there
Negative: Our room was definitely too far from the main building. If you want to be close to the amenities you need to check the location of where you will be staying.
Summary: Food great resort great felt very lucky to be there at the time we did April can imagine how seasoned very different.
