My partner and I stayed here for 12 days. Overall, this place felt run down and did not provide enough value relative to the cost. The location is good, but we would not stay here again. I'm leaving a detailed review here in the absence of detail on the listing page.
The location:
- The beach is roughly an 8-min walk over the bridge, and then the cabanas are another 7-8-min walk from there.
- The gym was clean and faced the pool for a nice workout in the morning. The pool was great. The beach location is amazing and somewhat crowded but way less than South Miami.
- As the other reviews said, the elevators are a time suck. You could spend 10-minutes per trip waiting for an elevator only to be packed like a sardine. Many people did not wear masks.
The apartment:
- The apartment wasn't filthy, but it was far from clean, much like the other reviews stated. There was sand all over the floor, and walking barefoot would make your feet turn a different color. The couch has stains on it that are covered by a blanket.
- The kitchen is modern and has a full-size fridge. The utensils and pans look like they have years of usage in them.
- The balcony is large, but the car noise is loud even from the 22nd floor. You can barely hear the noise indoors when the balcony doors are closed.
- The TV is not a smart TV (so no Netflix, etc.) but does have the option to rewind shows.
The services:
- The host barely communicates and is unwilling to offer any solutions to the problem. We tried to leave within 2-days, and the host was reluctant to cooperate.
- The wifi is intermittent, averaging 15-20mbps when inside, and barely working on the balcony. Working remotely here was challenging.
