Carpe Diem 4

Absolutely nothing below standard

"My stay at Carpe Diem Unit #4 provided an exceptionally disappointing experience. The accommodation lacked basic hygiene standards, with broken utilities, filthy conditions, and a bed lice infestation. Throughout our stay, we encountered issues such as broken mirrors and bath handles needing replacement, disrupting our comfort. Notably, the area's demarcated fireworks zone was not disclosed, causing distress, especially with an 18-month-old infant. The water quality was subpar, and there was no warning regarding its safety for consumption. Considering the high cost of R20000 for 6 days, the value delivered was far below expectations. Our towels arrived 2 days late and some bedding still had not arrived by checkout ! Adding to the disappointment, it's crucial to note that the owner seems indifferent to maintenance concerns. The unit is in a state of disrepair, with non-functional Aircon, doors that don't close or lock properly, and a kitchen that resembles something out of a 70's horror movie set. This level of neglect is simply unacceptable for an accommodation at this price point. I strongly advise potential guests to steer clear of this accommodation. It was a holiday that necessitated another holiday to recover from the numerous disappointments. One star is too generous for this stay—stay away."
