Dolce Vita Caribe Villas

Wonderful location, just 10-15 minutes walk from town and the beach. It's opposite the golf course in a secured area with a short walk to restaurants and convenience store. We rented 2 villas side-by-side for 2 families. Layout was nice and patios were very close and private. The pool is not exactly private - it's shared between ~8 villas. Here's the downsides of this property: The bed sheets and towels smelled weird and were very low quality. We needed more towels, but were told to go to the launderette, which takes 24-48 hours to clean. There are cameras in the house watching you. The owner says that they are for your security, but we felt we were being spied on at all times. You have to pay extra for electricity and water. While the owner is upfront about the costs, he doesn't show you the meter readings at check in. It cost us extra $150 USD for 12 night stay. Oven didn't work. Toilet paper cannot be flushed, but has to go in basket next to the toilet. This is common in Mexico, but our toilet still got clogged. Owner told us that toilet plungers don't work and told us to go and buy an acid product at the store to unclog it. Also, we were only provided with 1 trash bag for 12 nights. The ad says that the villas are serviced/cleaned every 3 days. This is false. Wifi router is in one villa and the coverage in the adjacent villa is dreadful. They need to invest in a signal booster (or just provide a separate router). So all in all, we enjoyed our time but I don't feel the property was worth the $ we paid for it.
