could be lovely but the bedroom layout is unsafe for children
The property cleanliness, finish and the location were good and Mrs Fon, the housekeeper was very nice.
We had a significant issue with the layout and safety of the house. We were a party of 6, including 4 children. I specifically needed a 4 bed house and I was very upset that we could only use 3 bedrooms of this property because of the safety. We ended up with our 3 year old on a mattress on our bedroom floor. I paid a premium so we could be comfortable with 4 bedroom and I was really upset that we ended up in this situation.
The bedrooms in this property all have doors directly to the pool and garden area, there are no internal doors. The bunk bed room is up a corridor which is also open to the pool and garden. Anyone could walk up the beach and enter the pool area and attempt to enter any bedroom.
The owner repeatedly assured me over email as to the safety of the area, but I wasn't comfortable with leaving children in a bedroom, that was connected to the outside area only and was too far from us to hear anything. The bedroom had a simple lock within the door knob.
The kitchen door also directly opens on the the pool and garden area and we had to leave the kitchen door unlocked at night so the older child could enter for a drink etc. Consequently we had to keep all of our belongings in our bedroom.
