Hugo’s place is as advertised with respect to the ocean front view and amenities. To chime in on other reviewers, there is only one elevator servicing #502 so be prepared to use the stairs or wait longer than normal during busy periods when everyone is using that elevator.
Pros:
- Hugo’s place was spacious enough for us (2 people), and the kitchen was fully stocked with any utensil we needed during our stay.
- The unit is modern and chic. Furniture and all appliances were in excellent condition.
- The unit also had swimming pool towels, Beach chairs, and a beach mat that we could’ve used if necessary.
- Vehicle valet staff were very professional and speedy. We rented a vehicle during our stay and used the valet parking @ $25.00 per day - which was reasonable.
- Patricia, our host, was fantastic. Just speaking with her eliminated any concerns we had with regard to parking and check-in. She was very friendly and helpful.
Cons:
- potential long wait time for the elevator.
- cleanliness of the room was questionable upon entering. Pockets and layers of dust in some corners and on the ceiling air intake vents. Lots of Hair on the headboard of the bed (did not belong to me or my wife!). We are not compulsively clean people, but we are neat and organized. Hugo’s place could stand a really thorough cleaning at this point from top to bottom. It looked to us as if the cleaning team only cleaned items they could see or reach, and brushed over spaces/items. The dust layers on along the floor boards, in some corners, and on the tops of the door frames and the air intake vent had to have accumulated over a lengthy period.
- check-in: Make sure Patricia sends the email that lets reception know you will be checking in. We ran into a slight snafu, but it was worked out after I reached out to Patricia.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay, and we thank Hugo and Patricia for everything they did to make it enjoyable!
