July 2010 Report

Post by Sterling »

The villa is beautiful and located on a serene cliff area. It is inside the golf course so there are security check points. The security is a bit lax though. All the bedrooms are larger than the average hotel room and all have their own bathrooms. The master bedroom is the only room upstairs. The bathroom has a double sink and a double sized tub. There is a king sized bed and a couch. There is a balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean.The kitchen is full up, everything you'd require is there. There is also a washer and dryer. The pool has a shallow walkway all around.
During our stay, we did encounter a few problems. Two of which could have been prevented by maintenance. The other twp problems was no fault of management. The first two issues encounter were the air conditioning units for the downstairs bedrooms. They seemed to be hit and miss. The A/C in the living room however worked very well. The A/C in the master bedroom also worked as expected. The second issue was the Bar-b-que pit. The condition was not the best and the propane tank was covered in rust. The cable reception was horrible, usually not a problem as i don't have cable but it was world cup season. The kicker, the main problem, was that the previous renters flushed products down the toilet. This cause some serious sewage issues. For the first 2 days we could only use one bathroom in the entire house. The plumber came, made it a bit better, we were able to use all the bathrooms. A few days later the bathroom in the master went on the fritz again. We had to stop using it.

The sewage problem made itself known the first day we were there. Deon, the property manager, showed us another place he would move us into the next day. We turned it down. (even with 7 people and as far as we knew at that time 1 working bathroom we still wanted to stay at the villa) The day we left the plumber was supposed to come in cut into the pipe. So as far as i know the problem should be taken care off.

Deon was an exceptional manager. His general attitude and ability to get the problems soughted out was outstanding. I would do business with them again based soley on on his performance.
