Here are the important things you need to know about the Windham Limetree Beach resort: First off, the grounds are beautiful. It's a super nice facility that has an open feel, it is well kept, and the rooms are nice - 20 seconds from the beach. The swim up pool bar is fun with good drinks/food. The property is private, safe, and even at full occupancy, does not feel crowded. So here is the zinger: This is a “timeshare” (Windham Beach Club). Ok, not a big deal so far. Just be aware that when you check in, you will have to sit down with the “concierge” (not a real concierge, but more of a sales person) to get your room key. This person was very nice and offered a few tips on the area but was primarily there to convince you to go to a timeshare sales meeting. What!! I didn't even know was this was a timeshare. She will keep you for 20-30 minutes until she feels that there is little chance to get you to agree to the “sales presentation”. She will offer room nights at other locations, food, gifts etc. to agree to go the 2 hour session. I don't know about you, but I hate being passively pressured to buy stuff. BUT, no matter what you do, don't give them your cell phone number. They wanted my number to send me “updates on my room”. Well what I got texts and calls that was just more pressure to attend the sale presentations. That continued for WEEKS after my stay. This is a beautiful property – go there, but don't give them your phone number.

The property is right on the beach Beautiful water/sand The beach itself had lots of sargassum which was not regularly removed Did not have service on beach Instead have to go and order at bar Also no table service , which I found irksome You order food at bar and bartender places order and then brings you a paper bag with your food .hmmm. The condo itself was huge amazing Had a washer/dryer which was really nice Excellent easy instructions for checking in

We stayed in Papaya. The view was amazing. The buildings were modern and looked well cared for. The room was clean and felt luxurious yet simple. We had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend and my wife is trying to find a way to trick me into taking her back.
