Hello 'thecat210', I am terribly sorry to hear you were not pleased with your stay. I am even more sorry that this was not brought up to us after check in, or before your mid- week clean so that any cleanliness or furniture issues could be remedied. While my life has changed since purchasing the property at 24, now married with multiple children and a desire to be closer to all our family overseas, my decision for sale has no bearing on our day to day operations, and no guest should ever feel as though it does. Your friend contacted me in January about a group of 22, after being sent all descriptions and prices the person in charge of booking decided which units to book. At that point, he decided how cost was split up amongst yourselves, rather than each individual paying the cost of their rooms, he chose to split it evenly per the number of people in the party, thus allowing all to pay an equal amount- rather than pay based on amenities and size of room, which is how we charge. At that point, January 9, the room descriptions were sent to each member of the party and an explanation of how the group leader chose to charge, based on a per head split, rather than per unit, how your party was charged. Each member paid their portion and the stay was confirmed. In June, the accommodation descriptions, which clearly state all amenities, including AC, or lack there of, were sent from myself to the group and your group assigned whom would be staying where, we had no choice in this. Your room is priced significantly lower than other rooms, as it has a shared bathroom and no AC. Rooms, apartments and homes with kitchens, AC, larger in size etc. are all priced accordingly, and this detail was sent to your party multiple times. Your party was given a discount, and even though when booked for 22 guests, a week prior to arrival it was made apparent that some of your party forgot to include their adult children in the count, and, at no additional fee these additional group members were accommodated. If you were unhappy with the charge your friend assessed based on an even split amongst all 22 in the original, that, unfortunately, is out of my control. We price based on amenities, and the cost you paid was a reflection on your groups decisions, something I have no control over. When you requested an AC, we did have to get one from the mainland, and with electricity being extremely expensive, your room is not priced at the additional cost of an AC for a week, there was an additional charge. The photographer is myself and my office staff with our cell phones most of the time, we have had a professional come in and shoot some of our properties, but as we continually update, install new furnishings and upgrading and or changing our shabby chic decor, many photos are taken in- house. All photos are a true representation of each individual room, apartment and home and match that of the description with amenities on our website and emailed to you multiple times. In the future, travelling with a large group of friends, ensuring you have the correct number of people in your party as to whom will actually be traveling and potentially paying based on how the hotel/ vacation properties are charging rather than splitting amongst your group evenly- even though amenities of units booked are not equal- may result in you not feeling ripped off.
