Connected to the master bedroom, they’re perfect for children.
As a fully staffed villa, our stay was nothing short of amazing. From the butler to the chef and gardener, all staff members went above and beyond to ensure we had everything covered. We would always take a refreshing dip in the private pool during our free time. If you’re not a swimmer, chillax poolside as you enjoy your drink. Or, you can have fun in the living area, which is fitted with a flat-screen TV. It also has access to Netflix, VCR, and a DVD player. Of course, we also had to explore the city. We were able to reach some of the city’s hippest attractions within minutes by car, like Half Moon. We were able to get there in just five minutes.
