"Don't stay here"

5.0

We were very happy to leave.

The room gets stiflingly hot, and you can not open the room up in the evening as you get inundated with mosquitoes and other insects. There was no air conditioning. No dishwashing liquid was provided. There was an ironing board, but no iron!

"Poor"

3.0

The owner was lovely. The kids loved the pool, and the view was stunning.

Unfortunately the accomodation was poor. There was mould on the walls in the bedrooms, multiple cockroaches, and the place smelt musty and damp. So due to this we cut our stay short.

"Great location if you have a car with spectacular views."

6.0

Location. Stunning view. Pets were allowed. Well stocked with pots and pans etc Fridge was working well. Water pressure in the shower was good and warm. Staff are accommodating and friendly.

No mention of requesting pets to be informed prior to arrival on the booking website but she (staff) allowed the pets in regardless. The beds are a little on the soft side. The bathroom has a sign that reads towel dropped on the floor that will be replaced, but when asking them about it - the units are actually self contained. The carpets had quite a few crumbs on the ground, we had to borrow the vacuum. Poor WIFI, barely connects and super slow - had to use personal mobile data which was faster and more reliable.
