Honest review
Myself and 3 other adults have just returned from our stay in this villa. This is our honest review:
Villa Pros:
Home from home with the most amazing view of the lagoon.
Spacious living area with tv and collection of DVDs.
Well equipped kitchen, cooker, brand new fridge, microwave
Air conditioned bedrooms
Clean bathroom
Lovely deck area
Beautiful landscaped gardens surrounding the villa
Brand new washer and dryer.
Cons:
Reason for giving this villa a 3 star rating are:
Villa is located on a very steep hill with lots of stone stairs to navigate to get the villa. No air conditioning in living area (it was very humid).
Lots of mosquitos (due to tropical climate). We used a range of sprays and repellants but still got lots of bites. We followed the owners instructions, keeping doors closed and insect screens across all windows including the french doors leading to the decked area. Which we hardly used due to mosquitos.
The kitchen was over run with ants (due to tropical climate). We were meticulous about clearing away after ourselves and not leaving rubbish, but the ants were everywhere including inside the kitchen cupboards (which we cleaned out daily). The inside of the villa could do with a freshen up (paintwork) and possibly new windows/doors. It's a beautiful villa, in a beautiful setting, but it is now in need of a little TLC.
There was a villa on-site that was being upgraded whilst we were there and it looked amazing. If this villa was upgraded we would consider renting again, but in its present state we wouldn't.
