We had a great stay- the room was just as described and communication on check in process made everything very smooth. We loved the view from balcony and the room had everything we needed. Everything was very clean and shower had great water pressure. The tiki bar and pelican cafe were nice to have right on site. Would stay again.

The condo was just as described. The furniture was all very comfortable and the decor was nice. The balcony was a plus with new furniture for lounging. For a large building with lots of guests, there was never a problem getting up and down on the elevators. There are 3 pools on site and all are well maintained. This is a very family friendly location with lots to do within walking distance or a short drive. Joan was a wonderful host, providing lots of information in advance of our arrival and communicated quickly if I had a question. I would not hesitate to come back in the future.

This condo was exceptionally clean and was exactly as described in the listing. We were very comfortable there. We had some difficulty with the unit's wifi network, but the nice folks at the registration desk gave us a card with the login for the building's network, which worked just fine. The resort itself is nice and has tons of amenities. We enjoyed our stay!

This condo was a wonderful stay! The beach chair service was great, loved the cafe food options for breakfast and lunch, as well as the tiki hut convenience on the beach! Kids took advantage of the pools and hot tub. Unit was very clean and I appreciated the leftover previous guest sunscreen. This was a last minute get away and it was easy, comfortable, clean and wonderfully relaxing!!
