Our stay at Hakuna Matata was overall a good experience, though it came with some challenges. We had originally planned to stay in two neighboring homes—Pirates Beach and Pirates Cove—but Pirates Cove was canceled on us at the last minute. Hakuna Matata was provided as a replacement, and while we appreciated having another house, it was located farther away from the rest of our group, which made things less convenient and disrupted some of our plans.That said, the house itself was pretty clean and comfortable. Upon arrival one of the bedroom doors was left open to the outside deck so it was a bit warm and the house had a stale smell. Several guests mentioned that the toilets did not flush well. Overall the house was a bit dated it run down just. It just needs some TLC. We liked the shrink-wrapped towels and sheets—having a fresh, sealed set for each room was a great touch. The beds were pretty comfortable, and the home met our basic needs.There were a few minor issues worth noting. One of the rooms cooling unit went out mid stay and late at night but was easily fixed by replacing the batteries in the remote. This house also felt a bit understocked in terms of essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap, so future guests may want to bring extra supplies.All in all, we made the best of it and appreciated having a place to stay, but the unexpected change in location and the distance from the rest of our party did take away from the overall experience.

Location of the house is perfect with great views. Large house with plenty of space. There are a few things in the description of this property that I feel are misleading and dishonest. Firstly, it is not a true six bedroom. It’s five bedrooms with the 6th open bedroom space.. Sixth area with bunkbeds does not have a door, closet or a dresser. So for someone having a family expecting to stay in that room, they have no privacy to even change their clothes or sleep at night. Listing states two refrigerators as the house sleeps 30. We got there and one refrigerator was not in operation. Maintenance told me it had been that way for months and I was not notified due to my trip. Therefore, we had lots of things we could not fit in the one refrigerator that didn’t even have an icemaker. One of the bunk rooms they forgot to mention actually has the washer and dryer in the room with it. The room sleeps eight people, but if you need to do laundry, you would have to walk all the way through the room to the back closet to wash any laundry. Some little things that bothered me were the fact that a couple of the rooms didn’t even have a closet. Some of the rooms that had a closet didn’t even have a rod to hang your clothes. One bathroom didn’t have a counter so we had to keep our personal items on the commode. There was nowhere in the room to even store your clean towels or dirty towels as there were no hooks on walls or doors.. The outside shower was also not working. I requested maintenance to come and fix that on our first morning. To my knowledge they never showed. So at the end of the evening when we came in to shower and rinse off before taking all the sand upstairs, my father had to fix the shower himself. Other small things like furniture that could’ve been cleaned better,one of the chairs in the dining room was broken stuff that I could’ve overlooked, but there was just too many things that added up. If these things we
