Arcadia Retreat is definately a home away from home. Neil & Maxine are lovely people, who go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable at their property. We stayed in Villa Toru, which was spacious for 3 adults and a added bonus of covered outdoor area at the front with bbq to use if so desired. We ate out most nites with Neil giving us great recommendations on restaurants & bars to visit while on holiday. The outdoor bath and shower was unquie and fun which we enjoyed. Beds were comfortable. Set in beautiful gardens with outdoor salted pool, which we had to ourselves and used everyday was awesome. Acardia Retreat is quiet and we would highly recommend. We definately will be returning to this little piece of paradise. Thank you Neil & Maxine for being wonderful hosts.
