The condo was not as advertised. Was not directly on the beach. Parking was almost impossible. The condo toilet leaked around the base. The handles on the kitchen cabinets kept falling off. The wifi did not work. It was advertised as having 3 tvs, but only 2. Very unsatisfactory.

Furniture was outdated and dirty. Stove didn’t work properly. Pots and pans were old and dented and hard to use. Two front bedrooms were hot with not airflow. During a rain storm water flowed into the condo and all the way to the kitchen. Had to use towels all over the floor. Dishwasher didn’t work. Cigarette butts on patio even though suppose to be a smoke free property. Felt springs in beds. Hot tubs on property didn’t work. I’m normally not one to complain but there were just to many things that were not right for a property averaging $475 a night. I’m completely dissatisfied and upset that my daughter went home 2 days early because she could sleep in the hot rooms.

STAY AWAY

First day I arrived we realized the sofa bed didn’t work which they had to fix, the dishes and fridge were extremely dirty, the apartment is very worn. The microwave didn’t work so they had to replace it after a few days. The electrical outlets in the guest bathroom didn’t work at all so they had to send an Electrition out. I payed 630 a night and when I called them they offered me a free night but I just found out out of the 630 I only get back 450 because the “fees” aren’t included in the refund. I would never recommend anyone to stay here.

Not Clean

The booking of the location was friendly; however the unit itself was not up to par. The condo smelt of mold and was noticeable on the majority of window seals. The kitchen sink was filled with dirty water for some reason and there were hairs scattered about the condo especially in the bathroom and shower. I took a quick shower after arriving but the smell of mold was overpowering and we decided to just head on home instead of staying the night. We will not be booking this place again.

None of the information said the resort was on the bay side and not the beach side. Very misleading!!! Didn’t like that there was a fee of over $300 and housekeeping wasn’t included. Nor did we have enough towels not to have to do laundry every day. Not enough toilet paper or garbage bags. What was the fee for?????? $1136 for 4 nights. It’s not like I got a great deal and should have to buy those things

We arrived late at night and could not check in and pretty much every number we called could not help us! There were zero notices or instructions. We finally called Expedia and they found someone. Also there were zero instructions on check out. The resort it’s self was great. Super family friendly and u can walk everywhere.

The lazy river was closed from 2/12 until 2/19 and we were not aware until we showed up at the property. That could've been something they told us before we arrived. We specifically picked this place because of the pools and lazy river.

The complex was fantastic. The three bedroom was perfect for me, my spouse, our three little boys, and my elderly in-laws. The kids loved the lazy river and the pools, not to mention the easy walk to the beach. The beds could be a bit more comfortable but that is just being nitpicky.
