The Good: Nestled on Bonaire's oceanfront, the villa exudes luxury. Its stunning location and design, coupled with a warm welcome and thoughtful food basket, set a promising tone for our stay.
The Bad: Our experience was marred by electrical issues with the washer, dryer, and dishwasher, detracting from the home's luxury feel.
The Ugly: Delving deeper into our stay, we stumbled upon a rather unpleasant discovery - some of the food left in the fridge, presumably part of the welcome basket, was actually leftovers from the previous guests. This oversight became apparent after biting into what was an old, soggy piece of food, a moment that underscored a lapse in attention to detail in preparing the property for new guests.
The most distressing issue, however, was the unbearable smell in the first room upstairs. Despite our immediate report to the host, the problem remained unresolved throughout our stay. The odor, reminiscent of a dead animal but likely emanating from the sewer, made the room virtually uninhabitable. Unfortunately, due to our family situation, we had no choice but to assign the room to someone, who understandably rated their experience as one star due to the persistent and nasty smell.
Despite these significant setbacks, it's important to acknowledge the property's inherent beauty and prime location. For those willing to overlook the aforementioned issues, the villa still stands as one of our favorite spots in Bonaire. (We travel there frequently)
