The pineapple room was nice and large, and the king size bed was very comfortable. It got extremely hot in the room during the day so the fans were very helpful, but we still tried to stay out of the room if possible. The lanai was nice, but there were so many mosquitos that you had to wear bug spray, light incense, have a fan on and/or wear long pants and shirts for it to be barrable. The lanai is the only eating space so it was an everyday battle against the mosquitos.
The kitchen was fine. It was mostly well stocked, however the oven does not work and the stove top was inconsistent with its heating elements. At the time of our stay, there were no sharp knives so cooking was a bit difficult. We stayed for a month and having to share a kitchen with 2 other adult couples was hard. There was minimal food storage in the fridge and minimal dry food storage as nothing can be left out on the counter. The owner and caretakers are VERY serious about this. We were not even able to leave things thawing on the counter during the day. The hours of kitchen use were also difficult to manage with 2 other couples as everyone gets hungry around the same time and the kitchen was to not be used after 8PM, not even to do your dishes.
The bathroom was nice for the most part. Nice shower with new shower head. The bathroom has a lot of screens which is relaxing being able to look at nature, however our towels never fully dried and got smelly. There was also a "hygiene issue" and they took away the communal hand towels and we then had to use our own and either keep it in our room or on our own hooks, making it even harder for all the towels to dry.
The washer and dryer was nice, but you are only allowed to do a completely full load or run the risk of being reprimanded.
The wifi was not great so if you are going to be working from there, be prepared for the wifi to be slow and cut in and out.
Overall the place was not bad, however my partner and I did not have a good experience with the host or caretakers. They are VERY VERY serious about the house rules. On one of the first days there, my partner and I were sitting on the lanai with fellow guests talking, and the host came down from his house and told us we were being too loud and he could hear us on his Zoom call. We all were talking normally and not being loud at all. Another day, my partner was paying music outside quietly in the middle of the day and was told by the caretaker to turn it off and he respectfully did so. I had to tell the caretakers to clean the bathroom because the bathmats smelled like a wet dog, and the shower was becoming covered in mildew. I also asked for a screen in our room to get fixed because geckos were getting in, and I was told that "geckos dont make holes in screens" and "dont keep dirty dishes and food in your room." The screen did get fixed but I was offended that my asking prompted a belittling and rude response. As our stay progressed things just got worse. There was a plumbing issue two days in a row with the bathroom and paper towels were found in the pipe. A few days after this, we were called up to a meeting at the host's home with him, and the two caretakers. It felt like an ambush. The owner told us that he was at the end of his rope with us and was accusing us of doing things that we werent doing, and this is the first we were hearing about any of it. And during this discussion, it seemed as if we were not being listened to, and their minds had already been made up. Given, we did break the rule and listened to tv shows in our room without headphones, but that is the only thing we were guilty of. We were accused of using the kitchen after hours, flushing things down the toilet, keeping dirty dishes and food in our room, eating in our room, trying to hide that we were listening to things without headphones, ect. After this discussion, passive aggressive notes were left all over the place, instead of just talking to the guests. For example, I asked where our deck fan went and they said it would be returned and that I should be using the bug zapper 24/7. To this I responded that bug zappers are ineffective during the day since it is the light that attracts the bugs. The next morning I wake up to the bug zapper being moved out of easy reach, a note taped to the wall stating "bug zapper should be on 24/7" and the zapper physically being taped into the plug so it could not be unplugged. This also was annoying at night because the blue light was very bright. Overall I would not recommend staying here unless you like living like a mouse and having to walk on eggshells.
