Our two bedroom ocean front villa was absolutely amazing! The villa was very spacious but also very well designed to give us outright luxury! Furthermore, the service from the moment we arrived was amazing! The Restaurant Manager Rahul went more than the extra mile to take care of us, not only for food and beverages but even sorting out any... More 

The hotel is in an idyllic setting. The rooms are enormous and appropriately decorated. Bathrooms lovely. The turn down service usually came with a food treat everyday! The new F & B manager started the week we arrived and she was superb. We noticed things getting better everyday and all feedback was acted upon immediately (not that there was anything... More

My wife and I visited the Residence for 7 days in Aug 16 on honeymoon. The villas are very luxurious, all with private pools, very spacious bathrooms and rooms with luxurious extra lounge space.
