Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Really beautiful, expansive property, great location in the heart of Shela, close to shops and cafes. Refreshing pool, and good working AC!
Negative: Just some hiccups with a few things - overall everything was very good! No water one night, which was promptly fixed in the morning, a flooded toilet which was rectified by a switched room. They're just starting out, and may need a bit of grace, but the place was great and we would definitely stay again!
