Verginia Sharm

Despite being some distance from the beach and located on an unexciting street, the senses awaken upon entering this stylish property. Not only are the flower draped terraced rooms an attractive visual, the extensive pool deck and waterfall covered bar add to the appeal. A variety of activities and entertainment is available making this suitable for adults and children alike.

Exterior

Attractive lawned gardens adorned with high palm trees, neatly trimmed shrubs and flower beds standing in a circular garden separates this property from the quiet street. Ornamental street lamps line the drive which sets down in front of the double height main building.

The entrance, covered by a narrow blue column supported portico has high wooden trimmed window frames and arched doorways.
