This was my second visit to this resort. The first time being 6 years ago. We like the pool villas because once the room has been serviced for the day, you can lock the door and be in your own little vacuum that lends to a very relaxing atmosphere. The fact that you have your own pool is magic. The outdoor bath tub is devine as are the outdoor showers. You can be at one with nature while still having all the comforts just a few feet away. There is a personal butler that is asigned to you on check in and if you require anything, all you need is to pick up the phone. I feel that while it may be a bit pricy when compared to the regular standard rooms, the cost doesn't enter into the picture when you consider there isn't another place in the world that provides the experience that you get with this package. The staff, while not usually part of the experience, is so here. They are very happy to be employed there and it shows. We didn't find one employee that wasn't smiling and these were genuine smiles, not pasted on ones. All in all, we will return and hopefully it won't be so long between visits.
