Needs Attention
The house is beautiful with stunning views and a fantastic pool but the place needs some love.
2 large sliding doors in 2 bedrooms are not working and held up only by wedges of wood. It has been like this for some time.1 thin old towel each for the pool is not enough to dry down then lie on. The internal freezer door (inside the fridge) was held with tape and wood and keeps falling in to the fridge every time you open it, breaking a glass bottle on to the tiled floor(no vacuum or mop to clean it up). The blue light above the bed is so bright that it wakes you up every time you move, previous guests have stuck tape over this but it does not stop the light. we placed a cardboard box over it. The faux leather on the headboard is so old that a substantial amount of it is crumbling in to the bed as you sleep. I let the interpreter know within the first day and she told me that the owner was aware but was not doing anything about these problems. I also had the wrong directions pinned to me by the interpreter who proceeded to raise her voice to me because she could not find us. 2 days before we were due to leave we had 3 messages asking when we would be out of the villa. Followed be another angry message from the interpreter for asking why they were needing to know so far in advance.
This will be a fantastic place to stay when they do some basic maintenance. Most of the review's are old and I would not recommend staying until beds, doors, fridge etc are replaced or fixed.
