This is a four-star place that could easily be five stars with simple modifications. Here’s a quick pro and con list.
Pros
1. Great view. Enough said.
2. Place is clean.
3. Lots of towels and relatively comfortable accommodations.
4. Easy check in and code lock so you don’t have to carry a key.
Cons
1. We saw pictures of the unit that had a daybed in the balcony. As a couple on vacation, this was very appealing. We showed up and quickly realized that the photos are instead of TWO separate units that they rent out, and instead our balcony had 2 chairs and pool lounger - less enticing for a couple and less exciting to sit and enjoy the great view. This borders on false or misleading advertising. Just take two sets of pictures? Mention in the listing there are two separate units?
2. Internet is painfully slow and WiFi reception is horrible in our unit (not available in bedroom, drops frequently). When cell phone reception is already spotty, having reliable WiFi (with decent speed) differentiates 4star from 5star. Forget about trying to stream anything or doing work online if you need that.
3. No detergent. I don’t need a gallon of Tide, but a couple pods or single use detergent pack would be helpful if you’re traveling to a beach condo with W/D. Not a deal breaker but these are the little things that this unit overlooks.
