Utsikten var vacker och huset var rimligt prissatt. Köket saknade dock förnödenheter, vilket gjorde det svårt att laga mat. Den dagliga städningen var en fin touch, och personalen var vänlig, även om de inte talade engelska. Trots förekomsten av många ödlor var det ingen deal breaker för oss. Avsaknaden av en stig till havet var en stor nackdel. Det skulle vara en liten investering med stor avkastning att lägga till trätrappor eller något liknande för att komma åt havet. Ett av rummen hade en trasig AC som inte var åtgärdad, och ett annat rum hade problem med översvämningar varje gång någon tog en dusch. Dessutom fanns det inga islådor eller paraplyer i villan.

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 😎
