Professional staff are also at our fingertips, ensuring that your waitering needs are perfectly met. Like we said… your wish is their command.
And when the last dance has ended, the bridal couple gets a free night’s accommodation in a sumptuous lodge room. And we’ll gladly host your guests too. We have six lodge rooms and 14 luxurious villas just perfect for much-needed rest at the end of the night’s revelries.
