We had a great time! The view of the condo is gorgeous! It has a huge balcony with an ocean and pool view. I was worried after reading some reviews, people complained that the place wasn’t clean and the mattresses were old. To be honest our first impression wasn’t good. The comforters and sheets are really old and look grimy and faded (some of the sheets had no more elastic and wouldn’t stay put) and the towels that were hanging on the rods were all stained. That gives you the impression of dirty. When I actually smelled them they smelled really good and clean. If the owner invested a little bit on new sheets and towels it would give the place a whole new look. The mattresses are actually pretty comfortable and look new, with the exception of the pull out couch mattress, that was actually really bad, you could feel all the bars because the mattress was so old and thin.
There are a lot of rules! When we arrived the blinds weren’t closing and some of the rules from the owner and from the town, said that the blinds need to be closed by a certain time. I spoke to Johannah and she was very nice and prompt to help. She said she couldn’t find anyone to come to the condo since it was Saturday evening, totally understandable, and told me how to temporarily close them. I expected someone to come during the week to fix the blinds but no one came. The same way that there was a sign at one of the the sinks, half in Spanish, half in English, that I figured meant not to use it, and since the housekeeper put it there, I thought the owner was aware of the issue, but no one came to fix it.
The pool is really nice and clean and there’s always someone cleaning the pool area and the building halls and bathrooms downstairs.
There’s a long walk to the beach! Even thought the building is by the sand you still have a good 10 to 15 minutes walk to the water, what you see in the picture from the balcony is what you actually have to walk, but the beach is beautiful, clean and the water was super warm!
Beware that there’s a parking fee. I read in one of the reviews that the fee was $50, well, we had to pay $100 for the week. This was listed with the rules, but I think that for transparency it should have been stated with the description of the place. The garage is attached to the building so I really didn’t see the reason for the place condo to charge you for parking.
Overall we had a great time. With a little TLC the place could be excellent!
