POSITIVES : comfortable beds, exactly as photos depicted, clean, fresh, easy to keep tidy, large table good for eating and games, loads of utensils, fully equipped pantry for those extras that you need, awesome view of beach and trees, easy free parking, great shower pressure, quiet at night, nice outdoor setting, good to have 2 laundry racks, friendly and efficient check-in process, safe area and place, not far to walk to main beach area or shops, big fridge, plenty of spare containers for storing food.
NEGATIVES : the sheets on the double beds could have been better sizing - they didn't tuck in well; the drier didn't work very well - after an hour it was as wet as when it went in (small load); pillows need replacing; some of the sharp knives need replacing - rusty; need oven instruction manual - took absolute ages for it to cook something very simple.
Having to do the dishes before we leave - I find this an odd request - having been a motel cleaner in the past, it is better practice to rely on the efficiency of the cleaner to do the best job for the next guests rather than rely on the previous guests to do a good job of cleaning for the next guests.
Same with the recycling request - I have no problem separating the recycling (that was very easy with the containers given) but.... to get the guests to put the bins outside the night before or early in the morning of pickup is a bit like the dishes - not our job. We are guests who pay a lot of money to stay here - we should not have to be relied on to clean dishes and do rubbish duties. We are on holiday from this - if we wanted to continue with these kind of chores we would have chosen a camping site.
I have not deducted any stars for this - just informing upcoming guests and hopefully the owners read this also.
