"Resident for over ten years."

Pros

We have a brand new Recreational center which is very spacious and well kitted out for us. We have excellent security around the grounds and villas. The staff and management are always helpful and see to our works order repair requests promptly. Our swimming pool is heated with a heat pump and although not 'covered in' is an excellent place to excercise when the weather is good. On going maintenance to our villas paintwork is keeping up with the good condition of our villas exterior condition.

Cons

Staffing shortages can be a problem but this is only temporary during illnesses from the inroads of COVID from time to time.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Been here a long time and life is what you make of it. This is a good village to spend time in and has always been of considerable help to my family during times of family need.
