Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay at Ceni's beach house, and felt it was well worth the price. We stayed for 11 days. It was magical - the view, the people of the Island are happy and friendly, and the restaurant selection is exceptional. We especially loved the French Croissant bakery by the airport (for fresh sourdough), and for inexpensive local food the best by far was Briana's Food Place and Neris tacos (fry jacks). Also, the view... have to say it again because it was the best part - watching the sun rise every morning was quite special.
We want to share a couple of things, positive and negative, but mostly positive...
Negative:
1) sliding door does not lock...there is a flimsy plastic pipe piece that is meant to stop door from sliding open but it doesnt work, so when we left the apartment, we resorted to tying handle to a fixed metal piece on opposite wall. Also the door is very hard to slide open and closed... the door rollers need to be replaced. Keep in mind, there is a small safe to store extra cash etc.
2) The unit definitely needs a new mattress (we ended up putting some carpets in the centre underneath mattress because we were rolling into each other)
3)There wasn't anywhere to hang hammock, all hangers were too rusted - however this would have been a bonus, not necessarily a negative. Also, there is no longer a yoga mat (as a previous reviewer said).
Positive:
1) Excellent location - close to restaurants, beach, piers etc...
2) Incredible sunrises!! The view every day was really something to look forward to
3) Air conditioning works perfectly
4) Great communication (if you get their Whatsapp #'s)
5) There is a water jug dispenser for 20L water jugs, so if you have a golf cart you can get the large jugs
6) small charcoal bbq
7) Large deck, thats mostly private with outdoor furniture, perfect for morning coffee
8) Quiet
9) Decent shower/bathtub - we found hot water was best in the morning - at night there was not much hot water
10) Washer/dryer was a real bonus, especially if you're there for a longer period of time
Overall, the apartment was lovely and have to say that if the mattress was replaced and sliding door had a lock, this would be a 5/5 review.
