Absolutely Oceanfront - Piscine de 60 pieds avec cascades - Licence

The property is listed as having air conditioning. However, what they neglect to tell you, until after you arrive, is you are expected to turn the a/c off whenever you are not actually in the room. Upon arrival, there is a note instructing you to turn off the a/c each time you leave, citing high electric bills. Shockingly, if you don’t turn off the a/c when you leave for a few hours, they will enter your room and turn it off for you.

Indeed, imagine being at the beach, when it is 85 plus degrees outside, and are looking forward to relaxing in the comfort of air conditioning, as promised. Only when you return, you enter a hot, stuffy room and discover that the owners entered the room (without permission or prior notice) and turned off the a/c. The owners live downstairs and when we returned to the property after being at the beach, Lucinda told us that her husband entered our room and left us towels, only we didn’t need or ask for any towels. When we entered the room, we discovered that he turned off the a/c. The a/c is a small window unit that takes hours to cool down the room and even then the room is only marginally tolerable.

We were so upset that we ended up leaving, after spending only two nights, even though we had booked the studio for seven nights. We checked into Turtle Bay Resort, for the remaining five nights.

Their a/c policy should have been disclosed in the overview and prior to renting it. Further, the amount we paid for the week more than adequately compensates for any increase cost in air conditioning usage. If we would have known that we were required to turn off the a/c when we were not in the room and that the owners would go to such extreme measures, as entering our room and turning it off, we never would have rented this place. Perhaps, this is why they fail to disclose the policy in the overview and prior to renting the property.
