Carinya - Secluded luxury minutes from the beach

The main house was very nicely laid out - kitchen, lounge, upstairs bedroom with ensuite. The bed was comfy, the walk in area was nice and clean and the towels were a good size. The secondary dwelling (which we did not use had 3 beds and a bathroom, and looked nicely laid out. This was reached through an undercover walk way from the main kitchen.

On arriving at the property, in the dark and rain, we found the address on the digital welcome book was wrong (number 5 instead of 65), plus not outside lights had been left on to make it easier - small things but annoying, and not ones i have had at other stays in the area. Inside the house was nice and comfy, however there was no cooking oil, cheap toilet rolls (which we replaced), and on Tuesday the pool pump was being fixed for three hours, whilst we were trying to do work calls - sadly the agent did not bother to let us know of this. There is also no place here to work except the kitchen bench ... which is fine for short stints... but not good for a whole day Worth noting the secondary dwelling is great for teenagers or extended family, but not suitable if you have young children, given the distance from the main bedroom.. lastly there was no real place to sunbathe - many people who travel to the region want the sun - the outdoor area is not designed to take advantage of this.

Quiet and private with great plunge pool. Very comfortable bedding with aircon keeping us cool in the heat and humidity.

Nothing.

Location was great walking distance to everything and the area where we stayed was very quiet with beautiful views of tree covered hills and tropical gardens.

Struggled to open the side gate to get inside to the key safe.

Location was good few hundred meters away from the beach and all the cafes and restaurants. The property was very clean and well maintained

So many issues. The property is not a villa. It is one bed room house with a small guest house separate from the main house. We are one family and we had to live separate. The guest house is too small and the ceiling very low. The main gate can’t lock so we had to lock all the door. All the mattresses need an immediate upgrade and all the Aircon’s. These things saw better days. The leather sofa is very old. Maybe some people call it vintage but it is not. The bar chairs are super vintage too. The frying pans need to throw away. As for the swimming pool this should be advertised as a kids pool. The total width is less than 2 meters and the total length is about three meters. An adult can’t use this pool.
