"When you turn off the main road i assumed the villas were the ones near Chris’s restaurant they are not its a very hard right turn just after Turing off the main road .. The privacy and the views were outstanding and a great surprise compared to what we were expecting at the villas near Chris’s . No restaurant here but then Chris’s restaurant isn’t open all week . Great kitchen facilities and spa bath lovely large king sized beds with another twin bed room Just an amazing place to watch the sun go down and southern cross to appear in the night sky"
