Rented two villas for two nights for ourselves and family. Falsely advertised. Old and smelly. Shower dirty and door broken. Found bed bugs on blood stained sheets. Got moved to two new rooms only to find same issues. Asked to check out with a refund for second night. Management refused and was not interested in helping us out. Told us to deal with Expedia which thankfully they were helpful. Do not book there. The grounds were the only thing that seemed well taken care of.

Room was clean and nicely appointed. Staff was pleasant and breakfast was good. Only stayed on night so did not have enough time to fully evaluate.
