Letter on arrival to inform us Coral Bay is a building site …. Not enough room to write all I’d like
Prior to coming the host contacted me to tell me it was Easter bank holiday when we arrive. She offered to get us shopping, at cost.
The villa is in a peaceful setting. The pool area is lovely and sunny or there are places to be in the shade. Loved watching the lizards. The outdoor seating area was nice, Inside is very inviting/ cosy. The pool could have done with a clean. The water was clear the whole fortnight however a vac of the bottom would have made a huge difference.
The only downside to the villa itself was the cleanliness. We bought some cleaning products, so an easy fix. Also there is a damp and mould in the bathroom. We aired it well which helped the smell but the plaster was falling outside, which we swept up.
Coral Bay is currently a construction site while ‘the strip’ has a new road and pathways put in. I wish we had been informed prior to coming, especially as the host was forward thinking enough to inform of easter weekend. We had not hired a car due to villa description of everything being in walking distance. We have then had to hire a car whilst here.
The response from the host, was rude as she couldn’t understand the upset as restaurants (on the building site) are open from the rear (the back alleys / car parks) and there are 20 restaurants she listed on a note on the table to inform us of the works on arrival to the villa. We did not want to eat on a building site and access via back alleys. It is about 30 min walk to the strip with the closures - 2km.
