AVOID AT ANY COST
Of 40 plus rentals this is by far the worst and the only one I have given an entirely negative review.
Where to start – well as (almost) every window and door has metal bars on the outside you feel like you are in a prison
The other all over impression is that the place is not so much “tired” as utterly exhausted.
Our rental got off to a bad start, the greeter was 30 minutes late and not exactly forthright on the phone when we called. When we got in he spent as little time as possible showing us around, demonstrated he couldn’t work the TV and quickly explained the workings of the alarm. In the short time possible we pointed out that the fans couldn’t be operated in the lounge or main bedroom.
We later discovered that the coffee machine leaked, there were no flat knives, the safe was inoperable and the iron bars between the kitchen and terrace was padlocked with no way to unlock.
On day 2 we ran out of gas for the cooker. It was replaced quickly, by swapping over the supply from the BBQ which itself never replaced, perhaps he realised that the BBQ was so disgusting looking nobody would want to use it.
A few other comments:
The high-speed internet operates at -2-3mbps. By comparison my UK broadband is 60mbps.
The toaster is so grotty we are reluctant to use it, it looks like only one side working.
There is no stereo.
The TV is anything but smart.
There are no dishes or utensils for children, the pool not enclosed so not suitable anyway
No cushions for the plastic poolside loungers or chairs.
The poolside table was clear plastic but has been now ben badly painted white rather than being replaced.
The “charming garden” is on a 35% angle and a few patches of long grass with various disused gas bottles and other rubbish laying around on it.
Toilet roll means half a roll left in each loo.
Last, but not least, the water pressure is on the verge of acceptability, at the 3 litres/minute flow you can get it means filling a kettle takes ages and you shower is a dribble of water.
