Well equipped villa but noise, no fans and lack of information about pool closures a problem
The villa is well presented and well equipped. The beach & the main street were approx a 8-10 min walk. A car is an absolute must if you plan to visit any nearby towns/villages.The pool was closed and had been for a while though we were not told this until 2-3 days prior to our arrival which, in my opinion, was wrong. We chose this villa over others because of the pool and had we been told in good time we would have had the option to choose another of our short-listed villas in the area at a much better rate. If the pool is important to you make sure you double-check that it is open. It was hot and we knew there was no air-conditioning but we did expect fans in the bedrooms; keeping the windows open at night was not practical because of the noise from the camps and the mosquitoes (a mosquito net was provided but we were still bitten incessantly at night if we kept the windows open) We chose to have the bed linens and towels included in our package and were disappointed that we were all given 1 towel each. A bare minimum should be a hand towel and a bath towel each. There are supermarkets nearby and plenty of restaurants along the main road and the seafront. There are a couple of camping sites nearby so the noise level is quite high until late at night. I complained about the lack of timely information about the pool and the owner waived the linen fee as a "goodwill" gesture. The owner should make it very clear to all clients if the pool is closed before confirming a booking.
