We rented a 4x4 rental car specifically so we could stay here on our last night on the island. Unfortunately, the check in was a rough and left us feeling badly, which put a damper on our last day of vacation. We were staying 5 minutes away so we asked if it would be possible to check in before 3pm. Hosts were communicative and said there was an issue with their horse who had a stomach ache, so maybe but probably not. Spent a long time talking about how horrible the guests before us were, which seemed like a lack of discretion on their part. We occupied ourselves for the afternoon in town and decided to show up a half hour after check in. When we arrived, Ashley was still in the process of cleaning (4.5 hours after checkout), was pretty frazzled and we got the message that we needed to go elsewhere. After another 45 minutes, we came back and no one was around so we assumed the place was ready. I got bitten by fire ants while we were waiting so I took a shower in the outdoor shower to wash off the sting. The setting was very cool but no matter how you turned the lever, the water was either freezing cold or boiling hot, ruling out an enjoyable shower. We looked through the “guidebook” with a bunch of handwritten pages and saw that the water comes from a nearby spring and is unfiltered. Can we drink it? Wasn’t clear. We didn’t bring bottled water...
Ashley hung out and talked to her horse right outside of our cabin for a while, which didn’t afford us much privacy and seemed awkward since she didn’t introduce herself or say “hey your room is ready”. I strolled on the grass around the cabin and there was horse poop everywhere.
Overall, we felt like we were definitely not a priority for these hosts: our room was ready almost 2 hours late and we felt like an inconvenience rather than a guest. We were left feeling disenchanted and eager to leave. Would not recommend.
