We booked over a year ago and so looking forward to our 1st holiday in 3 years. Upon arrival, a huge disappointment. The bedroom was a cave with a rattling ceiling fan. It felt and sounded like the highway was running through the bedroom with air brakes pretty much going all night long. A/C unit did not work for over a week due to maintenance which did not add to a successful sleep. Out of 33 days, I had 3 decent sleeps. The unit was small, dismal, dark, old, dirty, worn out furnishings. I put a towel on the filthy couch since it was so disgusting. Not for long term stays. We did not have a kettle, tea pot, salad mixing bowl, storage containers, a working peeler for veggies, devoid of necessary basics, 2 teaspoons were in the unit. There was no space to store our suitcases so our stuff was everywhere and we like to be tidy. The oven door was tricky to open when I was cooking as there was not enough space to stand behind the oven door to remove baked items. I burned myself 3 times. I am a small woman.
The condo is a 25 minute walk to the main grocery store on the ‘highway of death’. We used Uber a lot but we really prefer to walk and explore. This is not the place for that. We found through talking to other guests that we overpaid by quite a bit for this unit. I was ready to go home after the first 4 days and every week I was looking at flights home. I decided to tough it out since the weather was beautiful but the unit affected our enjoyment of our much longed for holiday. The sliding doors to the filthy deck has a non functioning severely rusted lock replaced by an aluminum clip that anyone could have opened with a credit card. As guests, we felt completely disrespected. The plus was the beautiful beach on the other side of the rocks that could be accessed when the tide was out. The grounds were well maintained and the staff were very polite and helpful.
Charles kindly gave us an extra hour check out time. We will definitely not return .
