    It has a feel of home, all the necessary staff we needed were there If they can improve on 1.availability of a Standard fridge.. Freezer is not practical for storing all food items 2.To save water when washing the dishes, get a proper fitting prop 3.Maintanance of the yard will improve the image of the whole property and pool included But all these don't take away the fact that we enjoyed

    The place was very spacious and clean. But the pots and cutlery are old, may you please invest on changing those, and fix the aircons that are not working cause the heat that side is insane... overall we had a lovely stay.

    A splendid well spent journey, just the weather kind of spoiled it for us.

    The wi-fi was not working at all. I missed an important football match one evening. If this system or facility could be improved, the place could be a completely wow experience!

    The proximity to several places of interest including the beach fronts. The accommodation is specious, safe and facilities are user-friendly.

    The other kitchen was kinda old and no longer in use making the house look untidy. Would suggest they do an upgrade on the house.

    We made our own breakfast

    The aircons weren't working, when the host came we found that they were unplugged. But besides that the other rooms were plugged but not cooling. The beds are very tired. We found a used bar of soap in one of the bathrooms. Only one knife was in good condition. The toilet in the last room was not in good state, needs to be changed/replaced.

    The fact that the house was big enough to accommodate all of us.

    They didn't have enough dishes and pots. No cleaning material

    The house wasn't clean on other rooms, bath taps were dirty, shower doors were broken. Their furniture is old if you touch something it falls. In the lounge their couch has the smell and dirty. Their fridge wasn't working properly and before we packed our things there was some staff for other guest on the fridge and it wasn't clean and also in the kitchen cupboards. We slept on the same sheets for 3 nights no one came to change sheets until we checked out.
