Sound of the Sea Villa

In the Villa I loved the service, the food cooked on site, the location right by the beach and the four bedrooms we used (the two we didn’t were quite small. No movie room so we set up a projector with the help of the Villa staff. I’ve suggested they make that a feature. It’s a quiet area but the downside of that is only the Lyma Beach Bar, a coffee shop and small grocery store in walking distance.

We absolutely loved the size of the property. All the rooms were gorgeous, the beds comfortable and the pool was huge, sparkling, clean, deep and cool. A stunning view right on the beach and the staff were always happy to help with anything we needed - including organising 10 massage therapists to visit the villa daily! Bliss!!! Highly recommend for large groups looking for their own space but also a huge communal area. Perfect. Only a few minor things that would have made it even better. 1. a few of the girls would have liked the hot tub to have been working (but it wasn't a huge issue, as the pool was huge and the weather was warm). 2. Having to pay for everything (like the ingredients for our meals and to stock the fridge) constantly in cash was really bothersome as I had to keep going to atms (not walking distance) to withdraw and they had limits on them so I got charged so many fees (hundreds of dollars in total) over and over again to get enough cash out. It would have been great to be able to pay with credit/eftpos or with a direct WISE transfer. I've never stayed in accommodation that was cash only for room charges, so I wasn't prepared for that and when you are paying for meals for 12 people constantly, it was a lot. But the meals were all delicious!

Amazing villa. We will definitely be back this year.
