We have always enjoyed staying in this resort, but this villa definitely does not match its description as “a setting in pines that will delight with its calm.” It is opposite a large building site, with loud cement-breaking noise from 8am Monday to Friday and heavy dust clouds covering the balcony and pool, making daytime outdoor use impossible.
The construction was clearly underway before our arrival, with building notices displayed on site railings and neighbours confirming the ongoing disruption before our arrival. Despite this, the host and booking agents denied any prior knowledge and claimed work started the day we arrived. Even with substantial contradictory photo and video evidence, no help or redress was offered.
The listing pictures are further misleading. Photos for Villa 2 appear to show a different property (Villa 1), which is more private. In contrast, Villa 2 is overlooked by multiple nearby rentals, separated only by temporary fabric fencing. Although described as private, a second access gate allows others to walk through the property, often left open, creating lack of privacy and safety concerns if travelling with dogs or kids like us.
Vrbo supported the host despite the substantial evidence to contrary. Additionally, adjacent villas hosted noisy parties during our stay, with loud music and access gates being used late into the night. This resort has much nicer rental options, this villa is not suitable for those seeking privacy or a relaxing setting.
