Térreo Localização, Cais Mergulho

We had a fabulous time! The atmosphere was relaxing and calm. The beach area was not busy at all. Definitely will be coming back!

It was wonderfully quiet, with a great beach steps from the porch and pool. Dive boats, jet skis, beach club, come right up to where you are. Every one of the staff was very attentive and helpful, and made sure our stay was relaxing and we had everything we needed for an amazing stay. They even suggested fun or relaxation we didn't know about! The condo itself was very well taken care of and had everything we needed. Though it is farther from town, it's nice to have a quiet retreat from everything. Especially the day after the Ironman. Speaking of that, I wish I wasn't too sunburned to enjoy the massage service that comes to your room or can set up on the beach. Next time I'll get a massage for sure. Taxis are easy to get if you didn't rent a car like we did, or there is a short walk (5 minutes) north to a spot to rent scooters on the beach road, though I'm sure if I asked the entrance staff they would have had it brought right to the doorstep of our building.

We felt right at home in Casa Emila at Residencias Reef. As soon as we stepped out of the cab, someone that works on the property greeted us and showed us where the condo is located. It is a pretty large, gated complex with beautiful grounds, a couple of pools and right on the beach. The condo itself is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is fully equipped. One of the pools and the beach are steps away from the back porch. The porch has a nice jacuzzi tub and patio furniture. There is a pier close by that we walked to in the mornings for easy pick up and drop off on our dive trips. Carlos and Charlie's is also walking distance down the beach if you want to eat out and/or have a few drinks in a beach bar atmosphere. Downtown is about a 15 minute drive so you may want to consider a rental car if you plan on going out a lot. However, it would be very easy to spend your entire time at the complex. Especially if you stock the kitchen which I understand you can make arrangements with the property managers to take care of that in advance. I was happy to find that we had internet access about 95% of the time. Tips: Bring shampoo, conditioner and bath soap. There is a washer/dryer so if you think you'll do any laundry bring laundry detergent or pods. If you like cats bring cat food or plan to buy some when you get there. There are a couple roaming around, I am still crying over one that I became attached to. Consider taking a soft cooler and/or tervis type cups for drinks on the beach. Hubby says bring a bottle opener, he didn't like the one that was there.

Great lccation. Unit was lovely and clean. Easy drive to town and Caleta but arranged pick up on dock. Very quiet and private. Will be back for sure.

The unit was easy to find and the directions given worked fine. The unit lacked many basic kitchen esentials found in other units in this facility. The manager did not show up until the 3rd day and was unable to even replace a simple light bulb on that visit. The pool wi-fi password was nowhere to be found and we were not able to make local calls with the phone in the unit. The airconditioning unit in the living room was intollerably noisy. There seemed to be no way to get the fan to run at a steady pace. It sounded like an airplane trying to take off then stalling ad infinitum. Thanks goodness it wasn't too hot this week. The washer and dryer are so small as to only be able to wash a couple of items at one time. The refrigerator light doesn't work either. The basic Dish network service is not worth writing home about either. Really no channels worth watching and no way to get a decent movie. I was going to recomend it to a friend but I have to say I'll tell him to look at some of the others. There was no cleaning service until the 4th day as compared to the last unit I stayed in which had daily service. This is my 3rd consecutive year visiting Residencias Reef and over all sadly I'd say this unit needs quite alot of work.
