Description from manager

Description

Worthy of the most stylish home design magazines, Hakuna Matata is the epitome of high-end island living. Exquisitely decorated with art from all over the globe, this villa’s lavish livings spaces will leave you tempted to just stay at home for your entire visit. If you decide not to, though, Hakuna Matata’s central location makes it a matter of a minutes to get anywhere on the island.

The multi-tiered stone terrace boasts lush tropical landscaping and a beautiful free-form pool. Sun-bathing poolside, you can take in the unbeatable view of Cinnamon Bay and the British Virgin Islands, while enjoying the rustle of the tradewinds through the treetops. Enjoy each others’ company in the plush central living areas or retreat to one of the four luxurious bedroom suites for some quiet time alone. No matter what your expectations for your vacation, Hakuna Matata is sure to exceed them.

Response from the manager Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand your concern about having villa contractors at the villas during rentals and we are sorry that your stay was in any way interrupted. Even though it does take a team of service professionals to maintain each villa, we always make every effort to avoid interrupting guests. We have reviewed the schedule of service during your stay and the two previously scheduled service calls for the week included the housekeeping service and the landscaper. There were three other calls made from the villa to our maintenance team, and each time a maintenance man was dispatched to assist you. We apologize that this was in any way an inconvenience to you. We do hope that you will consider returning to Hakuna Matata.We assure you that we will do all we can to make your stay as uninterrupted as possible.

Response from the manager Thank you for your review of Hakuna Matata. We are very sorry that the A/C repair company had such a challenge repairing the air conditioning unit. Although we our maintenance team responded quickly to each call and made every effort to assist with ensuring that the A/C unit was repaired, unfortunately we at the property management company are often at the mercy of the expertise outside vendors that specialize in appliance repair. We are glad the unit was repaired during your stay, however we do apologize that the repair took so long. The A/C repair not withstanding, we are pleased that you enjoyed the home and we hope that you will consider returning again the future.
