라 살랑가네 카알란 비치 빌라

The only real positive of this place is its beachfront location. When we arrived at the town square, the host arranged a tuk-tuk for us, but we were told to pay for it ourselves. We later learned many nearby accommodations provide complimentary transfers for check-in and check-out. We booked a four-night stay. First night: Acceptable, but the room had an old, very noisy air conditioner with no remote, and the shower pressure was extremely weak. Second night: The electricity went out. All surrounding properties switched to generators and had power. This one did not. Staff tried until midnight to start their generator but failed. We had no air conditioning, no fan, no lights, no hot water, and no way to charge our phones. The room was hot, dark, and full of mosquitoes. We assumed it would be fixed the next day. Third night: Still no electricity. I messaged the host, but we were expected to stay in the same conditions. Fourth night: After escalating the issue, we were moved to Reef Strand Hotel two minutes away. I wish we had booked there from the start. Spending three of four nights without electricity is unacceptable. The property seemed unprepared for outages and expected guests to tolerate substandard conditions. I would not recommend staying here.

Staff- good communication, courteous, always available and offered good values to island hoping packages and motorbike rental. Location- beach front. There is no front entrance to the main property which is a negative. You have to go through an alley to the side of the property leading to the beach and ti the back entrance of the apartment. However, you have to be back from downtown before 7 or 8 pm to avoid the high tide. Another draw back is no tricycle driver would like to take you back to the property during high tides. That means you have to walk about 15 minutes from townsquare, which is not bad. Although the studio apartment has a kitchen, the property is so close to other big resorts with restaurants and bars! Nice beach walk to at least three within 1 to 5 minutes! You can swim on the beach during high tides, but we prefer to use the pools in the nearby resorts for a very small fee. Price- very good value, especially if you prefer to cook your own meals and brew your coffee. But honestly, the food prices at the nearby restaurants are so reasonable, why bother cook?

Eigentlich könnte die Anlage wirklich schön sein, wenn sie zum einen besser gepflegt wäre und zum anderen sauberer wäre. Die Dusche fiel immer wieder aus, da kein bis wenig Wasserdruck vorhanden war. Das WiFi funktionierte die ersten beiden Tage auch nicht, danach gab es zwar WiFi, aber dieses war auch sehr unzuverlässig und schlecht. Unser Zimmer inklusive Badezimmer war leider auch nicht besonders sauber. Über all diese Dinge könnte man hinwegsehen wenn die Unterkunft im Verhältnis nicht so teuer wäre. Die Lage an sich war schön, man hatte eine wunderschöne Sicht auf das Meer, welche direkt vor der Unterkunft war. Allerdings war auch der Strand direkt vor dem Grundstück ziemlich dreckig. Preis/Leistung eine absolute Katastrophe.
