8/10
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Makali. It took us a while to feel “at home” in the villa for a couple of reasons; however, once we got used to these things and felt comfortable after the first 48 hours.
Pros:
1. Great pool (although we were told it was freshwater but it stung our eyes so not sure that’s true)
2. Great large rooms and comfy beds
3. Fantastic couch
4. Great massage service at reasonable pric
Cons:
1. The showers have large windows with plants outside however there are gaps which means anyone standing outside the villa can see into the shower / the neighbouring villas shower can see into ours.
2. The reason I stayed at the villa was to cook for my toddler. The hot plates took forced to boil water and there was no cookware which was appropriate to cook anything except one or two eggs. The sink leaks when filled with water. Limited number of bowls and plates etc.
3. The fridge does not cool beyond 13 degrees for most of the day (food safety is 0-5 degrees) so I had to put my daughters food in the reception fridge and felt embarrassed everytime I had to ask for an item from it as there was always random people hanging around who I weren’t sure if they were staff.
4. People can walk beside our villa and see into the pool. This made me uncomfortable as men would pass by the walkway to attend religious ceremonies in the jungle near us (quite loud at times).
5. The villa is in a random street with poor sign posting and taxis find it hard to get the right driveway.
