We are frequent travelers and looked forward to our month-long stay here. We were quite disappointed and cannot recommend it to anyone else. AVOID THIS CONDO and this condo building.
THE GOOD:
--Excellent, beautiful view (with geckos running around)
--Great location and easy check in. You can get around easily here.
--The elevator made it easy and convenient to get in.
--We sometimes received responses from the owner (but not consistently).
--The technology worked great-- WiFi, Smart TV, and lights/fans.
--Shower had great pressure and towels were nice and fluffy.
MAJOR ISSUES WITH OUR STAY:
--The a/c broke for two days, then leaked toward the end of our stay. We had to set up buckets in the hallway.
--The ocean pool was closed for the vast majority of the month (for painting and then over and over whenever waves put sand into it--do NOT expect that it will ever be open).
--The water was shut off three times during our stay. Further, the tap water tasted moldy and the owner recommended we do not drink it.
--There was constant, daily construction noise from morning until night (including most weekends), along with construction materials on the ground and in the elevators at all times. If you want a restful sleep, this is not possible here.
--The building manager was unreachable during the entire stay. Few updates were provided. We waited weeks until the owner sent any updates on pool openings/closures, and there was a general feel of staying in an old, falling-apart building.
--The condo was under-supplied. While we would of course expect to buy our own toilet paper (etc.), we also had to purchase trash bags, a Brita filter, dish pods, ziploc bags, and if we had done laundry, laundry detergent. The last thing you want to deal with on vacation is buying lots of supplies.
MINOR ISSUES:
--The bed was mushy and sagged in the middle.
--The bathroom sink was slow to drain.
--The toilet seat was loose and nearly falling off.
--They did pest control in the condo and we noticed quite a few roaches in the hallways.
--The kitchen gear (aside from the amazing knives) was mostly "on the cheap" and was not in good condition.
--The blinds let in light.
As a final note, the owner reacted quite defensively or in an avoidant way when we brought up any of these issues. (for example, when we reported the leaking a/c, she said it must be because we left the windows and doors open rather than because there was an actual problem). I DO NOT recommend staying here.
