Positive Reviews
positive:
Comprehensive living spaces.
Everything you need for a satisfying and comfortable stay is at your fingertips. The living areas, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom are spacious enough to feel like your own home, and having access to things like a full utensil set and premium television channels elevates the experience.
positive:
Unbeatable beach access.
This is one of the region's best beaches, and the property's location is perfect for hitting the water and soaking up the sun. Many of the local hotspots can be reached on foot, and the distance is short enough to comfortably haul beach equipment.
positive:
Amiable staff members.
The cleaning staff and management seeks to impress and address your needs however possible, even if it includes picking up restaurant orders or filling last-minute supply requests. They're consistently available by phone and prompt in resolving issues.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi is inconsistent.
The provided Wi-Fi network occasionally drops out or experiences huge drops in speed, which is problematic if you intend to use the internet for anything more demanding than light web browsing or sending messages. Viewing any form of media or downloading material is particularly troublesome due to this instability.
negative:
No daily cleaning.
You'll be largely responsible for keeping your living space clean and orderly, as there is not daily maid service provided for the apartment units. You can contact the desk to request a cleaning that isn't scheduled, but there's no guarantee that they'll be able to provide the service on short notice.
negative:
Inconvenient parking.
Getting in and out of the property's parking lot can be a hassle, depending on how many fellow guests are on-site. The major issue is blocked paths due to poor spot layout and the presence of vehicle-hauled boats, which can seal off entire sections of the lot.
