Let me start by saying the condo was really nice, beautiful view, clean, very well maintained. The reason I am giving this place an overall 2 is for the following reasons:
- The beach has so many sharp, large rocks that my son and many others busted their legs, knees etc. trying to attempt swimming in the ocean. We had to finally drive 20 minutes north to find a nice beach with no rocks and great waves. This was an inconvenience since we really wanted to enjoy the beach within a walking distance to our condo. If you are an older couple who does not intend to get in the water but simply enjoy the view, than this may be a great place for you. Not so much for families with kids and teens who want to play in the ocean.
- The pools were nice but quite a walk from the actual unit. The kids pool was really small for the size of the entire complex and the nicer, large pool was a "quiet" pool were you were not allowed to talk loud, splash, play pool games etc. So again if you are an adult looking for a quiet place with no interruptions, than this may appeal to you. We had 3 pre teen boys who wanted to enjoy themselves and unfortunately the kid pool was crowded and not big enough so they had to quietly swim laps in the larger pool without making noise or splashing etc.
- The entrance gate was managed very inefficiently and on one occasion we had to wait over 30 minutes to pull into the complex. Guests who had issues with their room registrations were held up and while security guards were trying to solve a single issue lines of cars were just waiting to enter the complex.
- On a final note, we were given a room access number and initially it did not work so we had to call the management company and after multiple tries we finally figured out that the key pads were changed and now you have to punch in the check mark key after a number to access the unit. The management company was not aware of this and i figured it out by chance, simply trying all potential options out of frustration.
