Spacious and Well-Appointed

“The unit I stayed in was wonderfully appointed with tile floors and granite counters. It had all the cookware and utensils you could need, plus beach chairs and a cooler, which made my stay so convenient.

5.0/10

The experience was bittersweet. The condo had stunning views, which were definitely a highlight. Unfortunately, I encountered a truly hard bed that made sleeping uncomfortable and the overall cleanliness of the place left much to be desired. While I appreciated my oceanfront view, the state of the room and unresponsive service were major downsides.

Our stay left much to be desired. While the property has a great location, some areas are quite run down and the experience was marred by unexpected fees. We didn't get the cleanliness we expected, and the lack of reliable air conditioning was a big drawback. Overall, it felt more frustrating than relaxing.

The room we stayed in was not clean at all; it felt neglected and grimy. The kitchen was especially filthy, which was disappointing given we expected a fully equipped space.

The location is decent, being near the marketplace and by the ocean. However, it does not make up for the other shortcomings.

I had a wonderful stay in an oceanfront condo that had stunning views and was very peaceful. The location was perfect for relaxing, and although the beach wasn't swimmable, I enjoyed the tide pools and the sounds of the ocean. However, it wasn't a resort experience, as some amenities were lacking and there were issues with bugs in one unit. Overall, this place is great for those looking to enjoy nature and a quiet atmosphere, but it might not suit everyone's expectations for comfort.

Rooms

The condo we rented was beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and had air conditioning which was a blessing in the hot weather.

On-site security was present, which made me feel safe, but I did have a less than pleasant experience getting help during an issue.

8.0/10

We had a lovely experience at this resort spa. The oceanfront views from our condo were simply breathtaking, and the ambiance was perfect for relaxation. While the location was fantastic and we greatly enjoyed the pool, some aspects like noise from nearby construction and lack of air conditioning in one unit detracted from the overall comfort. Nonetheless, it was a great getaway, especially with the stunning sunsets and beachside amenities.

Rooms

Our condo was nicely decorated and well stocked, although the absence of air conditioning in one of the units made for a less comfortable night due to outside noise.

5.0/10

My stay was incredibly disappointing due to the room's filthy condition and lack of proper cleaning. The location was good, with a nice beach area, but the value for money was terrible considering the state of the condo. It had potential, but the cleanliness really ruined the experience for us overall.

Rooms

5.0

The condo was in poor condition, with dirty carpets and a mildew stain in the kitchen. It felt like it hadn't been cleaned in years.

Service

5.0

The service from the front desk was inadequate; I felt ignored and unvalued as a guest.

Location

7.0

The location had a small beach area out back, which was nice, but not enough to make up for the problems in the condo.
