Iniciante na praia
A vista era linda e a casa tinha preços razoáveis. Porém, a cozinha carecia de suprimentos, dificultando o cozimento. O serviço de limpeza diário foi um toque agradável e a equipe foi amigável, embora não falassem inglês. Apesar da presença de muitos lagartos, não foi um problema para nós. A falta de um caminho para o mar era uma grande desvantagem. Seria um pequeno investimento com grande retorno adicionar escadas de madeira ou algo semelhante para acesso ao mar. Um dos quartos tinha um AC quebrado que não foi consertado, e outro quarto tinha um problema de inundação toda vez que alguém tomava banho. Além disso, não havia caixas de gelo ou guarda-sóis na vila.
Stunning location with a sea view on Turtle Island. We were thrilled to spot turtles and dolphins using the binoculars we brought along. Dolphins are quite rare on the island, but we were lucky enough to see them twice in one week (during the May holiday). Local fishermen even mentioned that their nets were being raided that week 😂
The house itself could use some maintenance. There are wall sockets that are either loose or non-functional, and exterior doors that are hard to close due to broken parts. During our stay, a section of the roof edge fell off because of concrete rot, posing a safety concern.
The beds and bathrooms were satisfactory, and the outdoor kitchen (with an extra refrigerator) and large sofa made for a fantastic dining area whenever we didn't eat out. The swimming pool is spacious (5x10m) and enjoyable.
The manager, Anastasia, is friendly, attentive, and quick to address any issues. I read some reviews mentioning WiFi problems, but we didn't experience any. While it may not set speed records, our three teenagers had no issues, and streaming Netflix was smooth.
A car is essential if you want to explore the island, but there's a small supermarket just a 5-minute walk away and several restaurants (like “Ole-Ole”) about a 15-minute walk away.
The beach below is easily accessible via a path next to the neighbor's house (a 3-minute walk), but with such a great swimming pool, we didn't feel the need to go there often 😎
