The positives:
Beautiful home on the outside, color and garden were fabulous. Rooftop terrace was excellent for star gazing.
Plenty of space inside, great sitting room and dining table.
Bikes! Huge plus that we were given bikes to use for our stay!
Priced appropriately.
Heidi was nice and very responsive.
Plenty of drinking water available. Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates ,toaster, coffee maker, etc etc. You could easily cook a meal with all the equipment provided.
The island itself was fantastic, but that's a whole different review!
The Negatives:
The house wasn't super clean and had a lot of cracks and crevices for creatures to come in. We saw a lot of ants, a few lizards, and a big cockroach type beetle. I understand it's a tropical environment and the house isn't brand new. If you think of it as part of the experience, like camping, it's kind of neat..but I did get the creeps a bit about sharing a sleeping space with these little guys.
The air conditioning in the bedroom cooled the room down but was very loud. It had quite a rattle that made it hard to sleep. Just needs an upgrade, but we were glad to have the cool air regardless.
Overall, neat experience! Unlike any other!
