Nice views! Easy access to the ocean. Really enjoyed ourselves. Read the whole review though.
The apartment is nice and in a great location and did have water and electricity. We enjoyed our stay very much. When I thought there was a problem with the master bathroom shower a plumber was sent out the same day. Turned out to be user error, there is what looks to be a diverter valve for the shower, but it isn't needed, just the pull up on the tub spout. Also, the management of the unit is very communicative and responsive to calls and emails.
There are a number of things you should be aware of. First, this apartment faces the mountains with views of the ocean from the balcony and bedrooms. The balcony is open to the main roads to the west, which means that there is a lot of street noise. When the traffic subsides you can hear the ocean. The bedrooms have better ocean sounds, especially at night. Second, the furnishings have seen better days. The fixtures in the master bath were pretty worn and the light was not attached to the wall, just laying on top of the cabinet with exposed wiring. Towels were plentiful but there weren't anywhere near as many washcloths. There is a fairly new washer and dryer, so it isn't a huge deal. The shared bathroom is in slightly better condition. There are beach items available, but the wheel on the provided cart is close to falling off, so plan on carrying them. The entry door is difficult to open until you get the knack of it. Finally, the building and grounds are still recovering from the hurricane. On the 17th floor there are windows blown out in the hallway, which does give a nice breeze through the open door though. Also note that the pool is not operational as of April 2018 and the tennis court does not have a net or fencing around it, and most of the lights in the common area are missing.
We did enjoy our stay and felt comfortable and safe in this apartment and the surrounding areas. I'd like to give this 3.5 stars, but that isn't an option. 5 stars for the location, 5 stars for management communication/responsiveness, 2 stars for the apartment itself due to wear and tear. With updates to the interior this would be a 5 star easily.
