Although the house itself wasn’t bad, I wouldn’t stay here again. The only access to the pool is through the primary bedroom, which is very inconvenient and doesn’t make much sense, especially when staying with other people.

Thank you for your feedback, Juan. We’re sorry the pool access was inconvenient for your group. The pool area is clearly shown in the listing photos, and there is also access through the side gate from outside if preferred. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best in your future travels.
