The Seiryu Villas

What a beautiful villa. Can’t fault it Staff very friendly and helpful Breakfast ordered day before and was delicious not a great variety though. Good quiet location

We just stayed here for a few nights and overall the stay was fine, but for the price I think you could find nicer accommodation. It definitely isn't a 5* accommodation. Pros: - Location: this was excellent, close to the beach and restaurants - Very quiet despite the street noise outside - Staff: seemed friendly but limited English - Pool: the pool was nice but the cushions on the day bed smelt damp. The cushions on the loungers were left out in the rain so were either wet, or even once dried smelt of damp. - The bed was huge and really comfortable Cons: - The villa wasn't as clean as you'd hope, a lot of dust in corners and a lack of attention to detail. Overall it seemed a little tired and in need of redecoration. There was a hole in the ceiling which leaked water when it rained, the toiletries provided were covered in dust and looked used, and the cup on the sink had old toothpaste stains in. - The style of sink in the bathroom was so shallow it was practically impossible to get your hands under the tap to wash your face. - The towels were tired and needed replacing. The hairdryer was a travel one which was cheap and poor quality. - The big french doors didn't glide smoothly so it was difficult to open and close them. There was curtains to cover the doors but not the window above the doors, so every morning the sun flows in waking you up at 6:30am. - The whole space was badly lit - The breakfast was one of the worst we've eaten, we only had it one day and skipped the other days. Stale croissant and danish, coffee and tea with no milk offered/provided, undercooked poached eggs on top of wet bread. Some of the items mentioned seem a little petty but for a 5 star accommodation you do expect better. I think for the same cost you could find better accommodation in the area. The staff need to update the tired and worn villas as it is a fantastic location and has huge potential.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. So thoughtful and hard working. The villa was good but a little dated and in need of some TLC (a leak in the roof, sticky locks, sliding doors that don’t meet when closed and very low water pressure in the shower (hot water was on and off too)). Japanese style and quite dark. Not good if you have mobility issues (sofa futon style). We liked that though but my parents would have struggled for eg. Bed was super comfortable and huge. Villa was very clean and attended to daily - indoors and out. Pool maintained regularly too. Pool was lovely. Daily breakfast was good with lots of options. Villa had a kitchen and dining area but super basic in terms of utensils. Not very well equipped but this really is a hotel rather than a self contained villa. X2 bottles of water supplied daily (we went to the local supermarket to buy bigger quantities of drinking water. 2 tiny bottles isn’t nearly enough considering they were enough just to brush teeth daily). Location is amazing. One of the biggest draw cards. Easy stroll to the beach. Lots of restaurants around but super quiet. If you stay here and need a laundry (and don’t want to pay hotel prices), pop around to the Family Laundry Express (3min walk) for amazing, quick and cheap laundry. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Overall, pretty good but considering price - not sure I would go back.
