Isla Matamba

Guests who stayed here loved

“This is an incredible property, with the dining room facing out onto the Caribbean Sea. Each meal is cooked by the chef who serves you here. It is very luxurious and relaxing and the food was fantastic The property was fairly run down not reflecting the booking.com pictures, the path that goes out into the sea had many planks of wood missing with nails sticking out. When we arrived there was only one member of staff who seemingly did everything but was not fluent at all in English. The room wasn’t ready for us when we entered, one of the lamps by the bed had no bulb in it, there was no toilet roll in the toilet and we were not provided with a key for any way to lock the door of our villa when we were leaving it. There was a very flimsy lock on the inside of villa door, but the lock looked like it had been kicked in previously. During the night, there was frequent dog barking making sleep difficult and as the lock on our bedroom door was so flimsy we were reasonably scared about intruders. The next morning there were handyman on the property who were working around us whilst eating then spent the rest of the morning in and around the pool sofas. We found this particularly disappointing as it felt that as we were leaving later that day, the experience had stopped.”
