Jonathon, Nov 2024
The rooms in our three bedroom villa were basically like staying in a dingy, musty basement. The place might have been nice… in 2008. The rooms are run down and dated. We ended up checking out after one night. Couldn’t stand to be in Villa and didn’t want to sit on or touch anything.
