Superb location with okay facilties
Pros:

The beach is just outside the main gate of the property and airport is behind the property at a walkable distance. We arrived late night and the staff arranged tea on request which is to be appreciated. Aestetics inside the property are top notch. Gives you a feel of residing at a local home.

Cons:

The ac was leaking water, bathroom wasnt clean with tiny hair spread in both the wash basin and commode.

Expensive for what you get.
Pros:

Room and attached bathroom a good size. Staff really friendly and helpful. Good view of the sea.

Cons:

Wasn't that clean. A bit overpriced. Shared kitchen on 1st floor not looked after. Location not good despite being close to beach. Very little options to buy wholesome veggie food in the area...most café and eateries selling chicken / beef meals. The beach is really dirty with lots of rubbish so not a great place to hang out.

Wenn man unbedingt in der Nähe vom Flughafen sein will.
Pros:

Es war eigentlich ein schönes Haus mit tollen Möbel. Auch das Zimmer mit Meerblick und Balkon.
Flughafentramsfer war ok 5 minuten zu Domestic

Cons:

Es war sehr schmutzig und alles verstaubt.
Die Raben haben mir die Lebensmittel vom Balkon geklaut.
Es ist eine grosse Müllkippe alles in der Umgebung.
Das Frühstück war zu spät.

Full value for money spent. Great Location, Great Property.
Pros:

A loud shout out to the warm reception and hospitality received. Nice property with good aesthetics. Providing Free Drop to Airport early in the day is a thoughtful addition.

Cons:

Breakfast needs a bit improvement, especially as you highlight it as a Free Add-on.
