Overall, the property itself was nice, and the staff we encountered were friendly. However, there were several issues during and after our stay that I believe future guests should be aware of.Upon arrival, we were informed that maintenance was preparing to spray the property grounds with some type of insect-control chemical. We were told to hurry to our apartment and remain inside for approximately 30 minutes while the chemicals in the air cleared. This was certainly not the type of welcome we expected after arriving.While making our way to the apartment, we also noticed a very strong and unpleasant odor throughout the area. We later determined that the smell was coming from the sargassum/seaweed washing ashore from the ocean.

The showers did not have full shower doors, which made the bathroom setup somewhat awkward. More concerning was a recliner that was broken and appeared to have been propped against the wall in a way that made the damage less noticeable.My biggest concern, however, involves the electricity charges, which I am currently disputing with the property owners.
