The view was fantastic but we didn’t feel that the property was very good value for money. We had 8 people staying and paid nearly 3500 for 6 days. We were only left with three toilet rolls and 1 rubbish sack. The property had bugs ( ants and cockroaches) which is to be expected in a Beach property but there was no bug spray / mortein/ citronella etc to help us dress the problem. It was also really hot and there were no fans located on the property. The rooms had blinds which meant all light came in and several of the slats were missing / damaged.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am glad you enjoyed the view, though I am sorry the stay did not feel like good value for what you paid.
We provide a starter amount of supplies which includes three rolls of toilet paper and one rubbish bag, so it is helpful to know this felt insufficient for your group. Our local manager has now supplied bug spray at the home and completed a check after your stay to ensure the space is clear of ants and cockroaches. Fans are not available at this property and the blinds have since been reviewed, with the damaged slats repaired.
Thank you again for your feedback as it helps us improve the experience for future guests. We would be pleased to welcome you back.
