Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: This was my third stay at The Residence in 10 years and still very beautiful. The resort is absolutely beautiful, the gardens are incredible and the food has always been exceptional.

Negative: Drinks have become very expensive and full board does not include drinks. Dinner used to move to different locations- that has now changed with dinner in one place every night and an option to go to a second restaurant al la carte.

Summary: Still once of the best resorts of you are looking for villa accommodation and great sunsets with probably the best pool
