Coralia Dream Villa 8

With what they charge, clean rooms, working aircon and pool upkeep should be basic. The villa was dirty, with dust everywhere, and we never saw anyone come for house or pool maintenance. The pool wasn’t cleaned and after four days had turned so cloudy it looked like a health hazard. The aircon had to be fixed three times, and the beds were terrible, it felt like sleeping on the floor. The villa and management aren’t fit for purpose. Unless you’re really desperate, go somewhere else and book with someone else.

No window blinds, the pool needs renovating, and there were no toiletries. We asked for a camp bed, but they forgot to bring it.

We insisted on being moved. This was Coralia Dream 2, and I can’t speak for what the other units were like. The place was filthy and smelled horrendous. One bathroom wall had mould from what looked like an old leak, and the fitted wardrobe on the other side smelled damp. The rooms without that damp smell had a takeaway food odour. Blankets in one bedroom wardrobe were so bad we had to put them outside, and others were stained. There were hairs, dirt and rust in all the showers, furniture was broken or clearly hadn’t been cleaned in ages, and there were dirty tissues on the bedroom floor. The smoke detector shown in one of the photos had no battery and was left sitting on its side. Don’t waste your money.

A decent, basic villa overall. The oven seems to run much hotter than the temperature setting, so better cooking utensils and oven gloves that won’t melt would help.
