Ants Pouring Out of Tub Faucet

We stayed at one of the tennis center villas for a weekend trip. Everything about the villa was fine except for one thing that DEFINITELY was not...ANTS POURING OUT OF THE BATHTUB FAUCET every time we turned it on. Literally dozens would coming pouring out with the water each time. It was disgusting as my wife and I had to stand at the ready to start smacking them dead as they fell out and started crawling up the edges of the tub each time to escape. We let the front desk know of the issue the Saturday morning or our stay, but maintenance coming by and spraying for them did next to nothing to help. We still had ants come pouring out that evening when we went to use the faucet again. We've seen and dealt with less bugs on camping trips sleeping outdoors in a tent. What would have been an otherwise pleasant stay was ruined by this gross deficiency in cleanliness. At what is supposed to a first class resort, it is simply unacceptable.

Checking in was a bit confusing and I wasn’t sure what the room actually looked like beforehand. The check in address was not included and when I called, the address they gave did not pull anything up. Overall, the condo could use some renovating but was nice. I found a dental flosser in the pull out couch and a weird herbal supplement on the table. Cleaning could have been better but overall nice place. Quick walk to the beach.

The property feels like it was built in the 1080s - the wood style condo that was in fashion back then. Over time the building has settled, floors are uneven. Aside from that, the unit has been updated and is well kept. It was nice for a short stay. The notes say it’s a 2 minute walk to the beach, it was more like 10-12 minutes walking at a reasonable pace.
