Let me start out by saying before booking this villa, I thoroughly read ALL the reviews. I understood upon booking that several people had mentioned it could use an update. I'm not a fashionista and don't mind outdated decor and such but I do expect cleanliness! I wish there was a way I could post the pictures I took. First of all the couch was so stained we had to get the extra sheets out of the closet to cover it with. There have been numerous water leaks and is evident in the bathroom above the shower (a large black moldy spot in the ceiling), as well as about a 3 foot section of the wall behind the dining room table. Speaking of the dining room table, the fabric covered chairs were stained and disgusting and the arms of them were tacky sticky with God knows what! I wouldn't allow my 5 year old to sit in them. The smoke alarm went off twice for no apparent reason. The light switches and plugs were black with filth. The walls and baseboards by the patio doors had chunks missing. We found random dead bugs in the bathroom. The final straw was the roach that crawled from between the refrigerator and pantry that was almost as long as our room key. I took a pic for size reference! We packed up our family and left at midnight AFTER we got the front door unstuck. At one point we worked with it for about 10 mins before we could get it open. Yes the reviews were correct in saying that it needed updates BUT new appliances and furnishings are the least of the concerns for this place. We have stayed at this resort multiple times, in this building even and WOW there is no comparison. Never again! The view is great but that is the ONLY thing it has going for it. The owner did email back regarding our complaints and issued a partial refund for the 2 1/2 days we forfeit. That helped cover the lodging for the rest of our vacation and for that I am thankful. But be warned this villa has issues!
