The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived, the suites were beautiful and there were so many beautiful areas to relax and unwind. We had dinner on the pool terrace and even a simple meal was beautifully cooked and presented.... more

We have stayed at Saxon several times now, just for one or two nights and each time has been a wonderful experience.
