Torana Condo As Seen on HGTV Tropic Like it s Hot New Hit Show

It was a beautiful property. Amazing staff and host

I didn’t find out about the third pool until the last day

This property is built to look great and it does… but the shine soon rubs off. The net above the tv room was loved by the kids. Cute touch. They were mostly quick to respond to our issues.

Where to start… 1. Of the 4 rooms we had to abandon one on night one… air conditioning died and so did the fan and so did the electrics in the room. Electrics were easily fixed once they shared the location of the second fuse box. But… the fuse tripped again.. too hot… we moved downstairs. Air conditioning was fixed once our last day but electrics were not resolved. 2. Water pressure was kind terrible. Yes you can have a shower if you run in a circle fast enough under the shower head. Only 1 room in 4 had adequate water pressure and that room had no curtain across the bath shower so… what a mess… 3. Toilets didn’t flush in 2 rooms on arrival. Fixed after an hour or so… apparently someone before us had done the unthinkable and flushed toilet paper with their business down the toilet. The plumbing is not designed for this - apparently. 4. Kitchen - almost nowhere to store anything and cooking is possible BUT only if you don’t mind using scratched non-stick pans which should have been discarded at least 6 months prior. I offered to throw them out and requested new ones… the held on… the next person gets to enjoy these apparently. 5. Ants… bring bug spray… the ants in the kitchen on the first night (before we cooked) were fearsome. A fun hour of cleaning. 6. Bring your 4WD to get to the place! Serious off roading required. Not for a scooter and not for a sedan. Stay away if you are pregnant or get car sick. 7. After the repair of the air conditioning - fuse box not put back correctly - bare mains wires… sigh 8. That wonderful rooftop pool in the pics is actually not in the unit. It is in the block and is not that close to the unit we stayed in. It is nice though but did kind of look into our unit. 9. You can’t use the outdoor furniture - if there are cushions they are wet and green at best. Careful not to step off the roof on the top small pool! 10. Cameras pointed at the private unit pools. 11. Bring water, bring mosquito coils, bring anything
