Would stay again

We loved our stay and would come again. A new addition at the facility, that we didn't see in the pictures, was a splash-pad/pool kid area. Our 2 year old loved having what he called "my size pool." I think it was so new most people didn't know about it, because we often had the space all to ourselves.

Wonderful weekend getaway.

A quick weekend stay at the beach! The place is exactly as pictured. It was extremely clean and very well maintained. The first night the shower was room temperature and after long travel I longed for a hot shower. I notified the property maintenance the next day and it was fixed. The master bedroom is warm but there were two fans in the second bedroom which was awesome. I have no complaints and would book again!

Beautiful

Beautiful condo & grounds. Love the boardwalk with cushioned sofas, chairs and umbrellas. Remarks: Gave us only 3 bath towels--please.. at least leave 4. I know I could ask for more...don't want the hassle. Door sticks and hard to open. Also, stopping at the office after a long drive was such a pain. This is 2025, not 1990.

Great property for young families

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and the beds and living room furniture were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped, but there was no low kitchen table, only high stools, which are not ideal for older adults. Master bedroom was a little warm, but there was a fan available to use. We especially enjoyed the large pool. The beach was a bit of a walk and the only access was down a flight of stairs. Laundry room on property was unbearably hot. I would stay here again, but would seek other laundry services.

Perfect

This property was even better than expected. Definitely clean both inside the condo and the common areas. Easy to understand directions of what to do for checkout and linen exchange. The only suggestion I have is buy toilet paper at Walmart and NEVER Island Market. Also, pack your own beach towels! Check the place for any cooking needs as well because there was nothing there for us in the way of spices. Everything else was great!

Great budget friendly condo.

This was a last minute booking for my family vacation. The condo itself was just as described. The condo was perfect for my family for our last minute booking. Unfortunately, we will not be able to stay at this condo again as we need a condo with two bathrooms and a washer/dryer set. The reason for the 4/5 rating had nothing to do with the condo itself. While staying, it felt like a spring break trip with so many young adults and teenagers and not a family friendly condo. On our last night, there were approximately 50-75 young adults and teenagers in the court yard in the middle of the condo area that were playing loud music and being incredibly noisy well past midnight.

Unit is in need of updates.

The perfect size for 2. The room is in much need of an update. The paint was peeling one side table and the particle board was exposed. We opened the drawer to that table and the odor was horrible as if someone had stored a dead fish in it. The lamp on the other table had a large crack and a hole in it.The comforter and pillows were spotted and need to be replaced. The balcony had three resin chairs. A small table would be nice.The property was very nice. The pools were clean as were the grounds and it is a short walk to the beach. I would stay here again but not in this unit.

Better in pictures...

The property in general was great! Wish the pools were heated because they were a bit cold with the cloudy weather. Felt very safe with 24hr security around the property. As for the unit, 1 bathroom was challenging for a family of 4. Washer and dryer would have been nice as our friends in another unit had them. Unit was clean and the views were nice! Handle on the freezer door was broken off, so it was difficult to use the freezer. Did not appear water was hooked up, so no ice making available. We also did not have pool towels as it appears everybody at the complex did. Tennis courts would have been nice to use, but unless you bring your own equipment you are out of luck. BBQs are available, but for a rental fee. Around $50 a day, so unless you have a group to split the cost it does not really make it worth grilling. Cheaper to go out for dinner. Overall we really liked the complex, but would probably look at another unit with better amenities and possibly a 2nd bathroom next time.

Solare Tower 405A

We had an efficiency condo in the Solare Tower of the Bahia Mar Resort. Our room was spacious and clean- plenty of space for 2 people. There could be some touch ups done in the bathroom (trim and walls), but overall, the condo was a very good value- we were pleasantly surprised. The balcony has a great view overlooking the pool area. The building itself is nice, but the hallways smell very badly. The condo above ours had tile floors so we could hear chairs sliding very loudly- one night this went on until 3:30am. The two pool/hot tub areas on the grounds are wonderful and there is convenient access to the beach. We walked to many of the shops, bars, and restaurants. The front office people at the Solare were helpful. We checked in at the SPI rental agency to get our wristbands and keys. We were told that our tower/unit didn't have wifi, but that's how it was advertised...free wifi. I called them and emailed them and was told no wifi. We then asked the lady at the Solare front desk and she handed us a slip of paper with the wifi password. So, there's some miscommunication between the rental reps and the people who work in the tower itself. Also, they advertise that they sell ice, but they don't. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return to the Solare Tower.

Overall happy with it.

Where as it seems some property rules they are super strict with, the other more disruptive things like music at the pools were not enforced, and there was no insulation between floors, so loud upstairs guests were heard, as was our stuff most likely able to have been heard below.

Stay by the sea

Clean comfortable unit. Liked the balcony - had walls on each side which helped block the wind. Didn’t like the check in process - had to stop at one facility to check in and then go to the unit - probably a function of centralized rental management company. Toaster didn’t work and was tucked away under the counter. Hair dryer would have been nice touch - i should have checked the amenities before traveling! Kitchen was basic - only salt and pepper - and a small supply of dishwasher soap, coffee supplies,etc.

Had a great time except for the last night

Overall, we had a really great stay here. The kids really enjoyed themselves and so did we. Our last night at the towers the fire alarm went around 10:45 at night. Having small children, my sister and I Got our kids out of bed and ran down the stairs.. there seemed to be no urgency by the staff let alone any staff to speak to anyway. The fire department didn't even show up until 30 minutes after the alarm had gone off. About an hour after that we were told we could go back in however the alarm was still going off. After another hour of the alarm continuing to go off, we decided to end our vacation. There was no way we were going to be able to get our children back to sleep. I'm not upset because I know these things happen. I'm upset that there was no communication as to why this alarm was continuing to go off. No announcement no way to reach anybody. Our kids were terrified and we didn't have anything that we could tell them. Not to mention we were kind of scared ourselves. I will be speaking with a property manager regarding this matter
