We booked a 4-night stay at Calizo VIP Guest House, but only stayed 1 night because the conditions were unacceptable. The room was essentially a basement space â very damp, with visible condensation on the walls and a strong musty odor. I sent the owner photos showing what appeared to be mold and the excessive moisture, but we did not receive any refund directly from the property. The only refund we received was through Expedia.
The environment felt unhealthy and uncomfortable, and we were unable to sleep due to the smell and dampness. We ended up relocating at our own expense to El Conquistador Resort, which was absolutely 1000x better â clean, properly ventilated, and exactly what we expected from a vacation stay.
It is very disappointing that this property is labeled âVIPâ on Expedia. Based on our experience, that designation is misleading. I would strongly encourage future travelers to ask detailed questions about the specific room location and ventilation before booking.
