Nothing short of spectacular!
April 02, 2019
Paradise Elegance - that is exactly what it is. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the quality of service. We took full advantage of the spa facilitities which were nothing short of spectacular. It wasn't the cheapest holiday we've ever been on but it was worth every single penny.
