Overall, the home was beautiful. There was ample space for my large family. As mentioned in some of the previous reviews, bugs were a slight issue. There were a significant amount of the ants in the home. The listing also reported that shampoo and body soaps were included. There was no shampoo or soap, so we just bought our own and left the surplus behind. The internet never did work while we were there. We connected to the guesthouse. We viewed these as very minor issues. There were many positives to this home. These views were phenomenal. There was a washer and dryer available in the garage. This was very nice and allowed us to pack a more lightly for the trip. Beside from a few minor issues, the home was great in overall enjoyable. I would recommend!

- Ants can be common in the area during the summer, and steps will be taken to address them.
- We appreciate your comments and are happy to hear you would recommend the property.
Thanks again for your review.
We enjoyed the home. It would have been nice to have some other outside chairs (either rigid or folding). Since there was eight people not all of us could sit outside at the same time.

It was a good place to stay. But there were ants in every room starting with the first night till the last day we stayed. I know we’re in a place where there are insects etc., but there are always ways to mitigate. Supposedly it was fumigated 30 days prior to our stay and they’ll get pest control out again soon. Home contact could not do anything other than it wasn’t their call to provide any type of compensation for the issue.

Thanks for letting us know about the ants. It’s common to see pests like ants in our tropical environment, but we do our best to keep them under control and will continue to monitor and treat the home to keep guests comfortable.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!
