PROS: Overall, you will not find a better place for your buck. Condo = Gorgeous! Marble floors, clean, updated rooms & showers & kitchen. The patio is huge and view is incredible! Windows are floor to ceiling and let in so much light. Maid that comes in does an impeccable job of cleaning...We were able to walk around without our shoes and no black feet. Kitchen is fully equipped, but the closest decent market is the Mega, which is a 10-minute drive south from the condo. The infinity pool is salt water and PERFECT temperature day and night. The little access to the ocean is amazing too! We spent everyday in the ocean and the water is SO clear that you can see tropical fish and some spotted stingray below you while you swim! As far as location, this is north of all the "fun & trendy" areas of the island. If you are a couple or a family looking to stay away from all of that and don't mind a taxi drive down to the main part of town, then this is the perfect place for you! The people are friendly, and it is absolutely safe to walk around at night.
The cons: So back to location... I wasn't sure where to stay because it was my first time. Went with a group of gals for our 30th birthdays and although it is nice being away from downtown, it definitely sucked having to catch a cab everyday to go downtown and go to a bar or shop, etc. Most of the tours start at the pier downtown, so it just ended up being an additional cost for us. If we stayed closer, we could've just walked and saved a $10 cab fare one-way each time ($10-12 to get to Mega supermarket). One of the main bedrooms has an issue with the a/c vent. Two of the girls like their rooms warm, so it wasn't a problem, but beware...one of the rooms gets insanely hot while the rest of the condo stays cool. The building is old. We knew that and didnt have a problem. There was an issue with the sewage gases coming up from pipes, so if we didnt leave the windows open while we were out, the condo would smell like sewer when we got back (but hopefully it's fixed by now!). It was a bit difficult not having a concierge to talk to (the property manager was responsive via email, but u know how it is...always better to ask Q's in person).
**Like i said, overall, great condo, beautiful room, and great value!
*TIP: YOU MUST MUST do the Pirate Boat tour! Totally worth it, they keep feeding you cocktails, and it was a LOT of fun!
