Be mindful of what you want when you book this place. It is nothing more than a place to lay your head at night. I really wanted to leave a good review after Ben helped us with our AC issue, but I just can’t.
It’s a great location, there are tons of things to do nearby. It’s relatively centrally located if you plan to do everything on all parts of the island. The property is clean, safe, and it was easy to find parking….once we found the location. The address on AirBNB is wrong; it’s for a different resort across the street, which is misleading because it makes you feel like you’re on the beach. The room itself was clean, and the bed is comfortable. There were plenty of towels and TP. However; you get what you pay for (even though I feel we paid too much for what we got).
You do not want to be in the room during the day. The window shades do not shade the sun, and the morning east sun blasts you as you lay in bed sleeping every morning. The sun begins warming the room pretty significantly past 9AM, which calls for some AC.
The AC unit is small and underpowered for the cooling needs of this condo, it runs 100% of the time, is very loud, and does a poor job of cooling. Ben supplied us with 2 extra oscillating fans, which made things more bearable, but it was still very noisy in the room with the AC and 2 oscillating fans running. He also sent a handyman to look at the AC, which said it was in working order. Also, the ceiling fan does not work on HIGH, just medium and low, so you have 2 chain pulls of nothing, medium and low. Does not help with cooling the room.
The shower hot water is either 0% or 100%, very hard to find the in between. I believe it is a faulty hot water valve stem in the shower. The bath tub is very short and is not useful for anything other than bathing a small child.
The lamp on the side of the bed closest to the window flickers, no remedy was made during our stay.
Coffee is hard to find at sunrise time (hard to sleep past this time) in this area and the coffee machine in this place is a cumbersome 4 cup percolator.
Also, the tile floor is very slick, as if it has a coating of some kind on it. Socks or barefoot, you must be careful walking as to not slip and fall.
With all of this said, I was not going to make a big deal out of it, because we did spend most of our time outside of this room, but the listing is misleading. We did not want to deal with handymen and repairmen in the room while we were out adventuring. I would not stay here again with it in this condition.
