The apartments are set amidst a lush, tropical garden, filled with palm trees, exotic flowers, and bright, colorful birds, hummingbirds and butterflies. Relax by the 6-meter swimming pool and enjoy the views of the tropical paradise from the sun loungers, jacuzzi and various seating areas. Spend your days snorkeling and swimming at the idyllic Snake Bay beach, only a 5-minute walk away.
