“This hillside resort marries dramatic views with undeniable seclusion, yet the climb can feel relentless, particularly for families. The stylish villas promise privacy and space, but some elements show age despite the luxury focus; I appreciate the thoughtful halal dining and convenient shuttles. It's a worthwhile choice for travelers who prioritize views and don't mind the workout.”
