The vacation itself fell short. The oceanfront location can't be beat, however, there were many things that didn't go well...
*The condo phone needs to be put on the DO NOT CALL list. We received a dozen or so calls from solicitors, mostly in the evening.
*the tv wasn't accessible for the first couple days because of what turned out to be dead batteries in the remote.
*The mirrored walls, tables and ceiling fans were dusty. I like things clean

*When we sat down to eat our first meal, I noticed clear tape on the end of my fork. We found it on several of the forks mostly.
It must have been a new set they never washed. Kind of freaked me out.
*There were stickers on the underside of most dinner plates too - it was clear they weren't ever washed.
*The dishwasher soap was in clumps, so we hand washed dishes.
*Not one single garbage liner! No spices besides salt and pepper. If you are going to cook, be prepared to bring everything.
*Children running across the floor upstairs until 10:30 or 11pm at night, and starting early in the morning.
*I couldn't walk out onto the patio in the morning for a cup of coffee, or in the afternoon to read or any time really without the next door neighbor confronting me with a "Hi!! Nice weather, huh? How are you doing?? What do you do for a living?? Where you from??" Etc. etc. etc. He was nice enough, and I'm generally friendly, but I just needed a break.) Ther patios are all connected. He parked his chair halfway between our places, and he moved closer every day. I was told he is there often.
*There was major construction going on in a couple individual units by the pool, so it was never quiet. They had a tile cutting saw going on every day but one.
*Just outside the side gate workers were doing construction there too. It was loud and the side gate was not in order the day we had a guest come.
*In the master bed I felt like I was sleeping on a child's bed. There was a waterproof mattress cover on the mattress that was uncomfortable.
*There were 22 people in the jacuzzi and all but 5 were kids. It was hot, which was nice but way too chlorinated. The steam burned your eyes.
