The space years ago I'm sure was great. it's a beautiful location. it's obvious however there's been little investment in the place in let's say 10 years or so... and it shows.
First there's no kitchen, it's hot plates,a toaster oven and a ramshackle grill that are meant to be the kitchen. The whole kitchen area needs a redoo.
Second, the owner lives above (which is fine) but the problem seems to be what is leaking from above. In the main dining area you would think the ceiling was going to fall in from above. you can see areas where it has been corrected multiple times.. but clearly he has never corrected the problem.
One of my biggest problems with the place is the windows. Right now, they are in the forced out position, and unfortunately that's where they will stay BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BROKEN. This wouldn't normally be a problem, except you are staying in the jungle and EVERYTHING at night will make noise, and you can't physically close the windows because they Are all broke.
Leith charged us $300 for cleaning. there were cobwebs in corners, the pool was still full of leaves, and there's literal virtagree in the showers. I found his cleaning fee exorbitant given the level of cleanliness.
