Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### MARK S. Apr 21, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Overall a positive experience, a few issues however The property was well located and catered for a large family. Whilst a little tired, it was what we expected from a beach property and the large common spaces inside and out were good. Tennis court was in great condition. Issue 1: Upon arrival the property was not as clean as expected, we had to clean the floors and some of the cutlery & crockery was quite dirty. Issue 2: the spa pool did not work (water level was very low and even after refiling it didn't work). The BBQ gas bottles were empty and there was rat droppings on the grille. We could not use either. Issue 3: HolidayShack (agent) non responsive to Issue 2, a message was left on day 2, not returned until chased up on day 4. tThat was poor. Then no solution to fix Issues 2 was offered. A small discount was subsequently provided. ##### MARK S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Minwer A.
