The apartment itself was lovely. Generous sized rooms, great views (180 degrees plus), and well equipped-- good storage space and drawers, excellent kitchen appliances, very good mattresses and pillows, comfortable LR seating, etc. A few glitches upon arrival that realty company promptly had someone come to fix. Hotel will not provide housekeeping service; got name from realty company, but person never showed.
The building has some nice features like a good restaurant on 9th floor and a coffee bar open until 1pm daily. Parking at $35/day was high but efficient.
The property/building itself was not as wonderful:
- fewer than 20 pool chairs for a 41 story building;
- very long waits at elevators;
- some excellent staff (notably. Joe Castro in maintenance and Brook at reception) but other staff impolite and ignorant (for example, receptionist said no mail pick up while I found a mail slot not 20' away;
- no real concierge e.g., no listing of local restaurants.
- finger pointing in most cases to contact owner, not "concierge" with any issues;
- beach labor irritable and provide different closing time than front desk says, inability/ difficulty to have some of party at beach chairs and some at pool, beach chairs a bit away from the building and jammed into a space suitable for half as many).
Would particularly recommend Etaru restaurant behind building and Billy's Stone Crab a couple miles north.
Please note that while website shows TOTAL cost, it does NOT include mandatory resort fee which mounts up if long stay.
