The GREAT: Stunning view, comfortable outdoor seating, comfortable bed, light blocking shades, great shower water pressure & temp control, very clean & safe, two vendor free beaches close; nightly sunset jazz concert wafting up from Jazz on the Rocks; hosts administrator was responsive & accommodating.
Room for improvement: Cheap polyester fitted sheets will NOT stay on the mattress; no blankets or throws just a thin polyester comforter; no basic cooking supplies such as oil, salt, pepper; nice beach umbrella but the chairs are the type you’d bring to your kids soccer game rather than the comfortable reclining sand stable beach chairs; bright white florescent spotlights throughout the unit - no relaxing lighting.
The property is very run down - one elevator doesn’t work, burnt out lights in the hallways, broken boarded up windows at the old poolside restaurant, dead plants in the landscaping…. the view from the pool is gorgeous and you pretty much have it to yourself… so the run down nature was a benefit. Building 7 is the poor stepchild of the condo complex and are not allowed to use the second pool area with the restaurant bar.
There was consistent noise from the Thompson's HVAC system that drowned out the sound of the ocean. On Thurs, Fri & Sat nights there was loud dance music blaring from the rooftop bar. It was blocked out well enough when we were inside with the doors closed so it didn’t impact our sleep but started around 8pm & went well into the night.
