Nelson Gay property was comfortable and perfect for our group. The property staff were all very communicative and accommodating as well. We would definitely recommend for groups of 9 ppl wanting their own room or couples willing to share beds. The location was beautiful & we hope to come back in the future.

We stayed for our daughter's wedding. It was the most beautiful and amazing venue! Everyone enjoyed the villa so much as it felt like we were in our own heavenly family home! If only we could stay longer than 5 nights. The staff were incredible and so helpful & courteous. The chef's food was absolutely delicious - thank you so much for an amazing stay!
