More cons than pros — I will start with the cons as I wish I had more warnings before booking.
Cons: walked in to a odd smelling room. We were able to figure out the origin of the smell - there was a garbage bag and a spray bottle in the cabinet on top of the refrigerator. We are not sure what was in the bag, but as soon as we opened the cabinet doors we got hit by a horrendous stench. Both top comforters in the main bedroom had holes. The lamp in our room was missing a knob to switch the appliance on. For these two immediate issues we texted the host and he quickly responded and had a cleaner come by to clear the cabinet, “sanitize” and replace the lamp the following day.
The shower kept dripping despite being shut off completely. If you are a light sleeper you will be staring at the ceiling all night. The host apparently knew of the issue as he brought it up without me mentioning. He asked if he could send people in to repair the leak during our stay, but requested no one else come to our room as we are on vacation and do not want strangers coming in and out of our room while we are not there. Who would?
Cannot forget to mention — COCKROACHES!!!! There were cockroaches in the bathroom, kitchen drawers and bedroom floor. We saw a total of 4. We should have known instantly by the “roach trap” above the cabinets in the kitchen….
This condo was supposedly remodeled, but lacks in many places. We visited another unit which our friends booked in the same complex and their room was so much nicer. Book if you dare. Photos are not always as they seem.
Pros: Decent location - A quick 10 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Host communication was great. 3 beds + a pull-out. Unfortunately, that is where the pro’s stops.
