Just had 7 great days in our two bedroom chalet. Along with our two teenage sons we made the most of the gorgeous pool and we all loved soaking in the spa with view to die for. We dragged our jet ski up the hill and had ample parking space. The Mapua Chalets are located right in the middle of... More

My husband Scott, 2 children (4yr & 2yr), and I (Alexia) stayed at the Chalets last November/December and had a marvelous time. We actually used to live at the chalets when they first opened in 2001 and we were so impressed w/all the lovely changes Karen and Andy had made to the property (i.e. pool, hot tub, landscaping).

The chalets feels remote and... More
