Amazing House

It's a beautiful property. You should more and better pool chairs. The house is for 10 people, but you only have 4 chair and don't look good.

Linda casa

La casa tiene un espacio increíble, el área social muy amplia, piscina limpia, buen parqueo Al apagar las luces en dos de las habitaciones los abanicos dejaban de funcionar al pedir un Par de toallas y sábanas el Día del Ingreso, la encargada no lo manejó de la Mejor manera, su respuesta o forma de asumirlo no fue la Mejor, se presentó en la casa y su manera de hablar fué fuera de tono a algunos electrodomésticos les faltaba limpieza óptima la refrigeradora no enfría adecuadamente por lo que algunos alimentos se nos pusieron malos. Cortinas o persianas muy pesadas dificultaban el manejo de las mismas cuarto principal sin A/C y era uno de los que tienen el problemas de la luz y el abanico afectando bastante el calor para poder dormir
