Great Location&Resort/Unit Needs Updating
We were very impressed with the location of the property. Playa Flamingo Beach was exactly 300m away as advertised. The grounds and pool were very clean and well-maintained. We felt safe and we’re always greeted by very friendly grounds keepers/staff. The rental folks were also very helpful and very quick to respond to us. The unit was well equipped and had a nice coffee pot. Lots of pots and pans and all the cutlery you needed. My son was also able to use a boogie board and he enjoyed using it during our stay. There were lots of towels for us to use. The linens and sheets were very clean. Although we expected the unit not to be modern and a little dated (photos) we were very disappointed that the unit itself was not very well maintained. There was a layer of grime on lamps and very large cob webs (size of football) on the ceiling in the master bedroom and in the living room. The curtains in the master bedroom had several different spots with what appeared to be blood stains. There were so many ants /termites all over the floors and walls. We expect bugs when we travel to hot countries but this was more than usual. We have returned to CR for three years in a row and have never experienced this many bugs inside a property. We all had bites from the ants crawling on our legs as soon as we sat for a few minutes. It was not comfortable. The screens on the doors/windows were torn, and the main washroom/ washer dryer area had gaping holes to the outdoors where all the bugs could come in. The water did not drain very well in the washrooms. The shower in the main ensuite was an issue. The hose or pipe needs replacing (likely calcium buildup) and it was nearly impossible to get hot/warm water. You can tell at one point that this was a very nice villa (the layout is very nice) but there has been very little maintenance and work done so it is truly showing it’s age. The other units next door looked more modern and clean. With some updates, repairs and a deep clean this unit could be a gem. We absolutely love Playa Flamingo and will return. We would consider renting a different unit in this building in the future. I’m so disappointed I could not provide a glowing review.
