We were overcharged to start with. Refund happened after i questioned price the next morning. Hardly any cutlery. Had to ask for more including a sharp knife and more bowls. Bulkhead light in front of front door to unit 15 was faulty and flicked on and off all night and lit up.the room. Broken chairs at poolside.
