Pictures are deceiving
As mentioned in the review title, the pictures are very deceiving. The overall idea & concept is excellent, however, the reality is quite different.
The description of the property is most correct, in that it is a tropical jungle. The house we rented was rundown / tired, as were the other properties we saw, including the main house & pool area. John, the assistant property manager, stated that the houses were only four years old. I know that the weather plays a factor on aging but these buildings looked to be about twenty years old. The inside of our house showed water damage from leaking roof tiles, small pieces of the drywall ceiling in the bedroom landed on the bed a couple of times. The ceiling fans worked, however, they were not properly balanced and made an annoying rattle & hum. The control switches for the fans as well did not work properly, 2 of the 3 fan switches only ran on high speed making them almost impossible to use. Not to plod on about the state of disrepair, the house the properties in general were all in need of some much needed TLC.
In the description for the property, it is stated that internet was available for our house, well that was not true. The only internet that was available was the main house by the pool & to say it was slow, would be a gross understatement. Actually this turned out to be a good thing, I got to read three books, there is life without the internet.
Granted the place was quite peaceful, again generally speaking, considering that there were not a lot of people staying here. Although, of the two weekends we spent there, there was a party of local people renting a few of the houses and essentially taking over the pool area for their festivities. One group played loud music until around midnight causing quite a ruckus, the other group the following weekend were extremely courteous. Other than those two occasions, the place was very quiet, mostly because no one else was renting here.
If you decide to stay here, you will most definitely need to rent a vehicle.
