Yes, a beautiful view and lovely grounds/pool area. However, a few days prior to our arrival we received an email stating our condo would be receiving pest control treatment during our stay. We thought perhaps this was a routine preventative measure so really didn’t think much of it. Upon entering the “prestigious” condo, we noticed many ant and roach traps throughout the condo and roach spray under the sink along with white residue on each of the cabinet hinges. Having stayed in the complex on previous visits, we hadn’t seen this before so thought this to be a little strange. We had family staying in another unit in the same building; they didn’t have traps or sprays and did not receive the same pest control email. Hmmm.
On the first evening we placed food on the island for dinner and within minutes, we found a cockroach running around in the food. We contacted the host to request a change in accommodation but told we could not but we were offered more traps, spray and a $200 refund. The pest control company showed up on schedule and added drops of pesticide throughout the kitchen and bathrooms (good thing we didn’t have small children with us). We asked if this was routine prevention for the entire complex but told that it was treatment specific to our unit. We were told that the drops were bait to draw the roaches out then die so we continued to see roaches in the kitchen area :(. Given how much we paid for the unit, we had no choice but to stay and thankfully spent most of our time outdoors or with family in their unit. We also ate out for the rest of our stay (an expense we weren’t counting on). We had been looking forward to this anniversary vacation for well over a year and decided to splurge a little to get the lovely view. Unfortunately, our stay did not create the memories we had hoped for. Prestigious and cockroaches should never be synonymous.
