Unfortunately this place didn't really work for us, and we ended up canceling and moving to renting a house. The patio area is very cute and tropical tho.. And Claudia, the property manager, is an absolute gem! Loved her so much.
I was, however, disappointed to find out upon arrival that the pool closed at 7pm, instead of 11pm, which is what the listing said. (apparently they had just changed the hours on the same day we arrived).
Also, the front door opened to the outside instead of inside.. and unlocked with a code.. There is no way to override this from the inside (no chain lock or anything), so if someone happened to get code, it would be very easy for them to enter unit, and no way to keep that from happening. This made me uncomfortable having my two small children sleeping in the living room (just a few feet away from front door)...and because the door opened to the outside instead of in, putting something in front of the door to keep it from opening, would be useless.
I'm sure not everyone would be concerned about this tho, since the property does have a gate.
The pool hours being changed, and the issues with the front door were enough for me to not want to stay there for the entire duration of our trip. It was fine for a couple of nights tho.
Other issues I had was that it didn't have some of the amenities it claimed to have.. Such as cooking oil, salt & pepper, and chopsticks.
Also, there was no tub stopper, so we had to stuff a rag into drain to give our kids a bath.
There was also a hole in the ceiling of the living room/dining room.. It wasn't bad enough that it looked dangerous or anything, but it just kinda grossed me out.
Not to mention the beds were very uncomfortable and mattresses were covered in plastic or something and was very loud when moving.
I think it would be fine for singles who don't want to spend a fortune.. Cuz the price is definitely less than everything around there, and it was VERY close to everything.
Whenever I informed Claudia that we would be leaving, I only mentioned the front door and beds being uncomfortable.. She said she was going to call the owner and ask if we could cancel and get refund on our reservation, and she returned later and told me that he said no, that we couldn't cancel and get refund.. I wasn't expecting a full refund though. So that didn't really matter to me.
The cancelation policy did say that I could get a partial refund tho.. But even if it hadn't, I still would have canceled.
Luckily airbnb sent us our refund within a few days tho, no questions asked (I guess bc of cancelation policy that went with this listing).
Overall it was fine for a night or two.. But not what I would recommend for longer stays.
