Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Firstly, that property is not in Oistins, it is in a community call Gall Hill, which locally is considered the projects/ghetto, hence not the safest place. Secondly, it was very clear that I was not expected as there was no one to greet me - the property manager was nowhere to be found. Thirdly, the place was unkempt with overgrown, poorly maintained shrubbery and just general untidiness. These pictures must have been from years ago as the property looks nothing like the pictures. This is the epitome of misleading and false advertising. I was out of there in a flash, and ended up having to pay $140 BBD in taxi fare alone trying to find alternate accommodation. I also had to pay another hotel $137usd for a last minute booking. The property is truly worth the price and even less. Would definitely not recommend!!
