Unit 607. Booking, communication, and getting into the condo upon arrival was easy. We stayed in April.
Big pluses: Heated, clean pool with reasonable evening swim hours (doesn't close at dinnertime like some places we've stayed), safe swimming area, air conditioning (one of only a few in the complex), comfortable furniture, clean, decent supply of cooking staples (oil, salt, pepper, spices, coffee filters), beautiful views. Lots of towels and beach items. There is a decent supply of toiletries. A nice selection of books and a few games. Indian food restaurant onsite. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water in the showers. Close to shops and restaurants but wasn't overly noisy.
The not so great: The Indian food restaurant on site had construction going while we were there but was still serving food. They advertised Sunday buffet, but wasn't actually open on the Sunday we were there. The wifi password in the guest book is wrong. A big deal for kids after sitting on an airplane for hours. The two twin beds in the second bedroom were supposed to be converted to a king. I'd emailed confirming this the week before our arrival because our teen is 6-ft tall and weighs 260. We put the twins together as a king, but had no king bedding. We left a mssg and someone came by the next day to make the bed with king sheets. They had no blankets except for the twins, and there was no foam or padding to cover the middle seam. Second, and really important, there is no bathtub as shown in pics and in the condo information sheet. This is a really big deal for a family with an autistic kid that needs baths. Luckily, the pool was heated and there is a hot tub so we got by without major meltdowns. The roller blinds in the master bedroom are broken and will not raise all the way, and not just a little, either. The window shades cover a good third of the window. When going out the bedroom sliding door, you have to duck down, and they inhibit the view greatly. The shades over the desk in the master bedroom are also broken and will not raise all the way which inhibits the beautiful view and makes opening the windows impossible. This is a really big deal! The curtains in the second bedroom are white and thin with no other blinds. Don't kid yourself and think the kids will stay asleep when the light comes flooding in with the sunrise. The kitchen sink faucet is put on at an angle instead of centered which kept throwing me when I'd turn the water on. Doesn't sound like a big deal but it was an irritant. The paper towel holder top is broken. There are mirrors EVERYWHERE! Do not think you can run from the bathroom into the bedroom with a towel around you because you will be caught in the mirrors in many angles. Yes,the mirrors are great for enhancing the views and making the smaller spaces bigger, but really, dial back on the mirrors. The parking lot's spaces are really small. We had a small SUV and had to park in the furthest spots many times because there wasn't enough room in closer available spots to open doors. There are no alarm clocks in either bedroom. No clocks, at all.
Would we stay here again? Yes, if the blind situations were remedied and appropriate bedding are in condo.
