Happy Life Village

Opinion

First impressions can be deceptive not least here where a barren litter spiked desert area has to be crossed to reach the property. However, once through the doors, a different world appears with attractively laid gardens and numerous swimming pools.

This is a suitable choice for those seeking an all encompassing holiday experience appealing to both adults and children content with staying put for a week or two or, at the very least, aware of the drive to the nearest shops!

A high white wall marks the boundary of this property separating it from the desert track outside. Some of the clusters of 2-storey high accommodation face the front.

There is a cobble brick forecourt on which a series of stairs leads up to double height wooden framed arched entrance overlooked by other arched windows.
