The host was welcoming. The sheets had a damp smell as if they had been put on the beds without being fully dry, which four of my family members complained about. In all other ways, it was a lovely stay and the views were gorgeous.

. Fans in most bedrooms. Busy road meant a lot of traffic noise. View from living room was lovely. Good sized tables for large groups. One or two extra lounge chairs would be an improvement. Cabana outside needed screen door or better air conditioning.
This property was a huge disappointment. Tatty and stained sofas, broken blinds and lights. Apart from the size this property is not worth staying in. It feels tired and like it is not cared for any more, with out of date fixtures and fittings. The beds were comfortable but other than that i do not have much positive to say. The view was good but spoiled by a building store directly opposite.
