What We Don't Like About The Villa Premiere The hotel is in the main hotel zone so you'll need to take a cab to get into the old town area around the gay beach (or you can walk there in about 45 minutes). Because it's a small hotel, the pools are not very big. The beach outside the hotel is ok but not great. If distance from old town isn't a big deal from you, consider the Golden Crown Paradise as an alternative with better pool and beach areas.
What We Do Like About The Villa Premiere Since it's quite small, the Villa Premiere has an exclusive, "boutique" feel about it. All the meals are a la carte. Be aware that some tour companies offer the Villa Premiere without meals so make sure you look closely at inclusions when you're companring prices. The resort is adults only with no one under the age of 16 permitted. You also have access to two sister properties - the Buenaventure and the Hacienda.
