The condo is very nice it’s walking distance to everything just wish the beach was nicer you can’t swim in front of the condo because the boats and all the seaweed. The Air conditioner started leaking from the ceiling into the hallway and main restroom in master told them 3 times and no one came to fix only gave us towels to put on the floor for the water. But besides all that it is a really nice place to stay because of the convenience of all the restaurants and bars are a few minutes walking distance and the condo itself is beautiful and spacious.

Beautiful but not what I was expecting

The place is beautiful but when I booked it I was under the impression that it was a resort. It is not. Its a hotel in the middle of a town and you have to walk everywhere to get everything. The beachfront is gone. The water from the golf has risen up to the very front of hotel. And there is a large amount of sea grass on shore all along the coast.

Lovely stay. Enjoyed the plants and trees. Felt very lush and tropical inside the hotel. The concierge service was exceptional from arranging travel to three hotel, car rental, cirque de solei transport and information. We worked with Patricia and two other lovely ladies… sorry can’t remember names. Thank you so much for your hospitality and quick responses answering my questions! I would definitely stay here again. Super quick walk to all the restaurants and shops. We were able to take a fishing trip leaving right next to the hotel. You then came back in the restaurant cooked our fish and we had tacos. Super fun!
