Rooms are available in three varieties; Quitor, Catarpe and Suite Tilo. There are 5 Quito rooms; these are the closest to the main areas with views to the gardens and a minibar. The 27 Catarpe rooms are ever so slightly larger than Quitor rooms and the terrace is more private, set in the gardens. The 10 Suite Tilo’s are in the gardens as well, with views to the lagoon and Catarpe Valley, these are a lot bigger with the other two with an additional private patio and outdoor shower.
There are extensive decked outdoor areas with 6 pools, a bar and a restaurant. Despite the beauty of the rooms, the superb surroundings take the biscuit and you are by no means short of ways to enjoy the view. There is also a spa.
