First off, the location is great because it’s right on the beach. That was first and foremost for us, and it is hard to have a bad time when you are that close to the beach. But the accommodations left much to be desired. I don’t think it was cleaned before we got there. The beds were not neatly made, and the trundle bed was not clean - the covers were bunched up and there was dirt and sand in the bed. Right when we walked in, you could smell the mold/mildew. I don’t know if that’s normal for being on the beach, but other places we’ve stayed at didn’t have that smell. Within the first two hours, we saw the largest cockroach I’ve ever seen crawling across the wall. Then we found ants all over the coffee table. I went to take my first shower, and the bath rug was filthy and there were hair shavings all over the soap/shampoo dish. Disgusting. Luckily the soap/shampoo dish shelf was too high for my wife to see or I think she would have pulled the plug right then.
We weren’t expecting the Ritz Carlton from the pictures, but this place was in rough shape. Mostly just dirty, but also rough around the edges. We would have cleaned ourselves but we couldn’t find any cleaning products. I don’t know how you can have that many glass windows and tables without a bottle of windex.
It wasn’t really well-stocked either. We had to buy soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags.
We didn’t let the accommodations spoil our plans - the beach makes up for a lot - but we were expecting better. The place has a great layout, three separate beds and baths on the ground floor with easy access to the pool/beach. I think it has the potential to be one of the best places on the island. Maybe they just had an off week or a subpar cleaning service - I don’t know - but just moderate your expectations and you’ll be fine. The owner/manager did communicate well, so points for that.
