We were very disappointed that the spa was faulty. The house was advertised with the photo of the spa and that caught our attention, yet the spa did not heat up enough and leaked and ended up emptying water before we could enjoy it. Apart from that the house itself is nice but a little dated and in need of some other non-spa related maintenance (eg. the tap fell off in the shower). The house has a lovely deck which we did enjoy, and the small town of Olinda is glorious, we enjoyed being there; it's gorgeous.
