Expectations were high due to the rave reviews. However, overall we felt the price wasn’t justified by the substandard experience. Positives: We liked being able to come and go easily, and the other couple sharing our accommodation were friendly. That said, we never met Darcy as we didn’t have any contact with her beyond booking the room and organising a check-in time so her son could check us in. We also only had brief hellos with Tim a couple of times in passing. The main disappointment was the cleaning standard. On the first night, as we were getting into bed, we noticed insect larvae all over the blanket overlay and had to squash about 30. There’s a ‘no shoes indoors’ policy but the floor felt like it hadn’t been vacuumed throughly, and there were insect cocoon shells along the skirting boards. There was also insect larvae on the curtains, so we kept the windows shut for the duration of our stay. The bathroom hadn’t been detailed - the sink had toothpaste splatter from previous guests on the tap faucet, and the shower curtain hadn’t been cleaned and was mouldy. These overlooked details are ridiculous because a $150 USD cleaning fee is charged. At USA wage rates, this could easily hire a team of cleaners for a few hours, with money left over for gas. Lastly, we were only provided with a single key for our room, and not one for the front door - we felt uneasy having the main door unlocked for the duration of our stay so kept our room door locked at all times. Btw, we didn’t find the lack of AC an issue. We enjoyed the warmth, and the ceiling fan was perfect for us. We’ve lived in the tropics before and the geckos here were a charming reminder of that time.
