Review of Villa Casa De Fe 3*

Let's start with the ugly. The hotel is horribly outdated and the room was abysmal. The bed was rock-hard, the sheets had a hole in them, and the sink was a water drink dispenser rather than a regular spigot. The shower was barely trickling, so I went without a shower. In addition, the hotel and the surrounding areas were constantly noisy throughout the night and day. Don't go here looking for relaxation. You won't find it. I was charged twenty USD for the airport transportation, which, according to their website is "available to guests" (Sounds complimentary, right? Think again! ) and then, when I asked for a simple meal, was served goat curry with more bones than meat (flavor was great, quality was not), and was charged an more than fifteen USD for that—which would likely be less than $8 anywhere else. It was a rip-off point blank. Spend your money on a nicer hotel. You'll find it more worth your while. I'm almost certain I was the only guest at the time, which made the tension between the hotel staff and owners even more apparent. It was awkward and not altogether welcoming. However, Lenroy, the shuttle driver, was exceedingly nice and showed me around town. He, and the view of the bay, may have been the shining gem in an otherwise dismal situation. I cannot recommend this hotel. I've paid 20 for a hostel room before and not expected much, but spending over $100 altogether, you expect the experience to be a lot different. It was unnecessarily stressful and not at all what a vacation should be.
