This condo has a great location to the elevator and bridge. There was plenty of storage space for us all in the condo. And the resort provided lots of things to do and was so convenient to dining options.

The property was in a great location, the only thing wrong was the door to the microwave was cracked and we didn’t want to use it in case it broke off. Other than that we were very pleased and we will book another trip to this location.

Unfortunately this was a let down for our family of 5. The coffee pot is cracked and we did not use it bc it could’ve busted on through. The shower curtain was messed up all in itself don’t know what that was all about the microwave was cracked and the fridge piece kept falling off when you put your cup up to get ice or water. There was couple pieces of trash under the bed when we arrived. Definitely need more face towels for hosting a family of 5. We had to keep laundry turned bc of this. The outside of the property was very nice but the inside was not what we thought it would. I don’t like giving bad reviews but I want people to know the honest truth so they don’t have the same kind of experience. We definitely won’t be back again.
