1 You cannot use the road up to reception even though it is not blocked off after you drive up you will be told to back down to the parking lot
2 We had the best room in the house but the door at the end of the path is for the maid to use We had to walk across somebody elses patio to get to our door
3 A matromonio room only has 1 chair on the balcony I guess we should have been so in love we wanted to sit on each others laps
4 THe kitchen is not equipped not even a glass
5 When the power goes out, you will not have a light in your room even though it is one of the most expensive places to stay in Nica. The only place with lighting is the bar
6 Our room was filthy with ants in the bed a live scorpion in the drapery cochroaches in the shower spiders their webs and prey along the baseboards centipedes walking the walls and all the shoe marks on the walls to prove that others have also been killing wildlife
7 If you want a glass be prepared to fight with the bar staff to get one
8 The restaurant staff clothing was filthy
9 Bring your own candles for the power outage
10 The water heater did not work
11 Two old bars of soap were on the shower drain
12 Wheelchair ramps are on the same grade as stairs
13 There was an abandoned birds nest on the window ledge as well as hornets nests on the screening covering the bathroom window
14 the manager will try to sell you a villa in this wonderous setting as their housecleaning is something for you to look forward to when you stay or have your friends over to visit
15 Most of thatching needs to be redone as it has rotted right through
The manager will not want to give you any compensation for being stuck out there, but you will have the benefit of being present while he dresses down the cleaner. He will not want to go and check the room with you either. The location is superfantastic and well worth the drive. However, they will want to charge you $10 per person(over and above your restaurant tab) if you want to use the restaurant and you are not registered there.
I suggest you continue on up the hill and eat a the larger of the two restaurants at the top of the hill. (I think it is called Katarina) It is perched on the lip of the volcanoe, and has great food for cheap (we ate for about $12 total for 2) I recommend the fried fish, It was bass that was scored, coated and deep fried to a crunchy coating. The flesh was firm and white and delicious. They were so conscientious about cleanliness, that they wiped the beer bottles down before they put then in the frig.
