We love the location! It’s a big plus with the washer/dryer available for us. Especially, going swimming/snorkeling almost everyday. This place was very comfortable and homey. The hosts stayed next door and respected our space for the duration of our stay.. Wish there’s AC in all the rooms. We know it can be very costly and we understand it.
It changed when my son started complaining each day about multiple new bites on him. Until, the third day he mentioned to us again. We didn’t think of it at first and thought it might be mosquito bites. Later on that evening, my son was laying on the bed. He noticed a bug crawling on him, he smacked and killed it. We went over but didn’t see the bug, but for sure it was a blood stained on the bedsheet. We started to check the bed covers and spotted a bug! I recording it and took a picture of it. Messaged the host right away and sent the video/pictures for them to see. The host came over and put baby powder all over the bed. We did mentioned to the host it looks like bedbugs. The host said it’s not, it looks like a beetle.
The next morning while I was outside doing laundry. The host confronted me in person and try to convinced to me, again. “You know it’s not bedbugs, it’s beetles.” My reactions was like, “Ok. I guess, if you say so.” To be honest, it looks like bedbugs to us. My son was the only one slept in that room, and the only with all those bites. The host still believe it’s beetles. At least I informed them and honest about it. He had over 15+ bites, so you can decide on that. No new bites after he stopped sleeping in that room. On the day we checked out I messaged the host. I sent some pictures of my son with the bites on him.
The host mentioned their niece is a doctor and showed the pictures to her. That it looks like monkey pox or maybe heat related. I work in the medical field as well, I know it’s neither one. My son had no symptoms of fever, headache, sore throat, cough, or rashes turns into bumps. He didn’t get any new bites after he stop sleeping in that room. We will not be staying here in the future because of this reason.
