Very good

Recently renovated and newly furnished since our last visit. Well laid out and comfortable. Very neat, tidy and clean. Beach, shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes are within walking distance. We enjoyed sitting back and relaxing on the balcony and the outdoor area, with a glass of wine and beer, cooking on the BBQ watching the Island's wildlife and golfers on the fairway of Hole 6. Definitely will book again.
Wir haben noch nie in so einem dreckigen Appartement gehaust.
Lage und Ausstattung ist ja grundsätzlich ok, aber wenn man knapp 400 Dollar pro Nacht bezahlt, hat man Anspruch auf eine saubere Unterkunft. Natürlich haben wir sofort Kontakt zu der Agentur aufgenommen, aber bis auf eine beschwichtigende Mail kam nichts. Als ich Caleb anrief, hieß es nur, er würde zurückrufen. Passiert ist nichts.
Ich will auf jeden Fall einen Teil des Geldes zurück!!!
Eklig!!!!
