"Unsere Buchung hatten wir Wochen vorher gemacht, man wusste also, dass wir kommen. Vor Ort war die Kommunikation erst recht freundlich und man gab uns das angeblich "beste Apartment" des Hauses. Wir schauten uns ein wenig um und stellte dabei fest: - Die Fernbedienung zur Klimaanlage fehlte - Es gab so gut wie keine Ausrüstung in der Küche, also keine Pfanne (nur zwei uralte Töpfe), kaum Gläser, nur eine kleine Tasse und einen einzigen Becher, kein Sieb, kein schafes Messer, keine Schüsseln,...

"Die Klimaanlage ist in einem Schlafraum, jedoch kann man sie geschickt mit zwei Ventilatoren in die anderen Räume umleiten.Wir waren zu dritt fünf Wochen dort und fanden es ganz toll dass wir eine Reinigungskraft zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen und nicht zu weit abseits, so dass man in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß ins Ortszentrum und auch zum Strand laufen konnte oder eben ein Tuk Tuk oder Aluguer nehmen konnte. Alles Gute und vielen Dank"
