Sainte Anne

Sainte Anne Resort and Spa is a showcase for Laxmanbhais intricate detailing, especially in all the wooden trims in the villas - no matter whether it is the high end Royal Villa or the economy Garden Villa.  These details include skylights, intricately slatted doors and expansive wooden floors.  Almost all the villas have their personal 4-way horizon pool, a master peice in precise construction enabling the water to cascade over all four sides simultaneously and evenly.  A large pool area with waterfalls and ponds in elaborate marble combinations show Laxmanbhai's workmanship to advantage.  Another impressive display of timberwork can also been seen at the Robinson Crusoe Restaurant, which has been skilfully constructed to appear as if roughly constructed, where in reality it is a complex arrangement which blends into its surrounds.
