The property features 117 villas, plus a five-storey building that houses 136 guest rooms and suites. The villa I stayed in, with one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs, is good for families or groups of friends.

» I get to know people when I travel for work, but I rarely see them again in person because each time I travel, I go to someplace different.
