Villa Ocean

CONSTRUCTION! CONSTRUCTION! CONSTRUCTION! -STAY ELSEWHERE! Two large construction projects are at the front and rear of the villa. The construction is very noisy and continuous starting around 0730 every day (including weekends). I feel the need to warn you about the construction because the host still hasn't mentioned it in the listing despite the bad reviews. I wrote to the host asking why he didn't mention the ongoing nearby construction before my arrival and he arrogantly responded with insults and asking if I wanted him to "set up a meeting with the mayor". FOR THE RECORD - My problem is not with the construction - my problem is that he failed (and continues to fail) to mention the heavy construction in the listing. One day, I could not exit the only door for several hours because a backhoe put a 2 meter pile of dirt blocking it. see photo -Daily power outages. The best part of the frequent power outages is the nearby construction stops temporarily. -Open layout. The kitchen, dining area, living room and roof deck have an open layout. The villa interior has no doors and is exposed to the "elements" except for the bedrooms and bathrooms. "Elements" include rain, noise, construction dust and pests. Pests include ants, mice/rats, lizards, birds, iguanas, spiders, cockroaches and worst of all - mosquitoes - which carry Dengue fever in this area. see photos Please make an informed choice and stay elsewhere. The construction has recently started. Given the slow pace, it looks like the noise and dust will continue for several more months. See recent previous reviews.

This was paradise. Nice secluded pool, amazing terrace with comfy seating and hamock, good bathroom, just two minutes from the beach.

The apartment is unfortunately being surrounded by construction work, which not only results in noise but also workers being able to overlook the apartment. Also there are weird reddish spots all over paintings and the fridge. I'm not sure if this is from squashing bugs throughout the years. Saw some cockroaches inside and outside the bedrooms, which might be normal for this area.

It’s beautiful property and close to the beach. So cozy and beautiful!! We will definitely come back.

Nothing to complain.

Everything was perfect. I regret not staying there longer.
