Really disappointed with our stay here. We booked it based on the views and the wonderful reviews online, but sadly our experience was nothing like what was described on their website or in the online reviews. The owner was overseas during our stay which is likely the reason for our poor experience, but is not an excuse. We ended up cutting our stay short and moving to a resort at considerable expense The good: the view. It really is as gorgeous as it looks. Our host Sarita was absolutely lovely as well. We went on a big fishing trip and brought back a big mahi mahi which she organised to be cleaned and cooked up into a delicious fish curry. Breakfast was lovely The bad: literally everything else We were promised free airport transfers, and confirmed our flight details several times, but no-one was waiting for us at the airport. We called the accommodation and eventually this taxi turned up, but there was no way this car could ever get up the driveway (more on that later), so further phone calls ensued until a friend/relative of the taxi driver turned up in a 4wd ute, and demanded $50 to take us to the lodge (only a 5min drive away) - highway robbery but we had literally no other option The driveway is absolutely horrendous. They're not kidding when they say it's only accessible by 4wd, and that's a real 4wd with low range gears, and even then the wheels slip. Driving up and down it was bad enough, we also walked down once which was extremely sketchy and not something we ever want to do ever again With the owner away there was no in-house transport, so our only option was so me random local drivers the hosts would call who demanded $20 each way , and seeing as aside from breakfast there's basically nothing to eat or drink (aside from one tap with a filter in the main kitchen) we had no option but to pay this With the owner away there were also no activities available, we asked a few times about organising trips to various places but our host just ignored the question and changed the subject The bugs at this place were next level ridiculous, in 3 nights we went through an entire can of insect repellent and still got eaten alive The room was nicely decorated, but my sleep was terrible. The aircon is super noisy and starts and stops all the time, plus the roof leaked very loudly into a tray in the bathroom, so I didn't get any restful sleep here. There was also no table, only a single chair in the room and only a sun lounge and a really low beam bag to sit on, no TV or basically anything else to do at all, and only coffee and sugar (no milk, tea, or even teaspoons provided). The bed was really uncomfortable, a thin spring mattress in a hard base that I could feel every spring in The pool is tiny (barely chest height deep and at most 3m square) and our swimming clothes stank after using it On our second night the hosts literally locked us into the wing of the house without telling us, meaning no access to drinking water, we'd be stuck in
