My stay at O2 Villas Resort & Spa was mixed. While the location offered amazing views and a refreshing escape from the busy town, the room itself left a bit to be desired. I enjoyed the attentive service and the delicious food, but the room's thin walls and limited space really made it hard to feel comfortable.

My stay at O2 Villas Resort & Spa was enjoyable overall, but there were a few issues that dampened the experience a bit. I loved the spacious executive suite with a balcony and the lovely staff who made towel animals for my kids. However, the view from my balcony was not as impressive as I had hoped, and there was a problem with bugs in the bathroom due to a tree there.
