First impressions on arriving at the bay were that this was a lovely site.
On entering accommodation, which we did at around 4.30, the floor had clearly been the last thing cleaned as it wasn’t just wet but there were puddles on the floor!! Throughout the hallway and the main living kitchen area. As we removed our shoes to ensure this them didn’t become muddy we got our socks soaking!!
On unpacking, in the kitchen there is not one cupboard space suitable for dried food items or items such as bread. All drawers had kitchen items in as did all the cupboards except the one under the sink which is not appropriate to put food items in and a skinny unit with a piping in.
All the blinds had been pulled up and tied and when we went to put them down all sets were extremely dusty!!! Could I suggest that they a given a quick dust as part of the cleaning regime?? It would literally take 2 mins per set!!!
On arrival we couldn’t find the welcome book. We looked in all the cupboards in the living area and not to be found! Therefore we didn’t know the location on the wifi password. I checked the router, and it was under a part the slides out on the back, but again not an easy find. We did find the welcome booklet eventually later that evening in a kitchen drawer under several chopping boards! I have left it in the living area on one of the units, and would suggest for future bookings it is left visible!
Noise is a bit of an issue in the bedroom. With it being on the main road traffic noise is very audible. And as it is also close to the front door we could also hear others coming in later in the night as the front entrance is communal.
I also initially booked for 2 adults and 1 child, fully aware I would need to pay for additional bedding for sofa bed or bring my own. Towels only left for 2 guests. As it happened the other adult ended up not being able to join us so no issue, but if anyone else is expecting towels for all guests, take some of your own just incase!
Overall the accommodation was very well maintained, except the few niggles I have described. It had clearly recently been decorated as we could smell paint! Decor all lovely.
Would I stay in casa crusoe again, probably not. Too many niggles for me and the noise in the bedroom is just too much of a no for me! I would however stay on the bay in future. If you’re not bothered by noise then I would highly recommend casa crusoe.
