I liked the view, pool, plants/flowers, dining & cleaning waitstaff. I didn’t like the constant cigarette smoking in all close, common, shared outdoor areas for dining, pool swimming, the constant lack of promised internet connection, that I have to pay extra for air conditioning through Expedia, (which was in the fine print that I did not see), that it’s not a “smoke free property” as advertised. I am allergic to cigarette smoke, outdoors in close proximity, or indoors. It makes me ill. No effort is made to make a separate smoking area outdoors for the comfort & health of the other guests. The rooms are old-fashioned, but I could live with that, and I generally have been ok here for a while, but just not constantly dealing with all the cigarette smoke, noise & lights from the street and close by hotel at night, especially, diesel fumes & noise from motor scooters, buses, trucks & cars directly under my bedroom window. I started smelling a natural gas leak of some sort in my bathroom a couple of days ago. My sinuses are very irritated from all that. The sick feeling stops me from doing wonderful things I want to do before leaving this beautiful and interesting island & I keep wanting to lie down and rest instead. I’m going to try to find another place that’s affordable & thoughtful & respectful towards the needs of non smokers, to continue my stay here on this lovely island for a while longer. I would continue to stay here if not for these ongoing issues, discussed with owner
