Gian was easy to access for any communications we needed and that is always the first thing I look for when it comes to an AirBNB. We had a small hiccup when first checking in to the resort but that was due to a recent email change at the front desk. I reached out to the host via text and they responded to my
message within minutes and literally called the front desk to clear up the miscommunication while I was there.
The apartment itself was beautiful with a great view of the beach. We loved the long balcony that connected all three rooms. If you looked directly out you’ll just see across the other building but you didn’t have to turn your head much to see the view of the beach. We appreciated the minimalistic furniture as we traveled with a 2 year old who couldn’t find many things to get into which was a relief. The beds were very comfortable. The showers and sinks all had amazing water pressure. I will note that there is no bathtub in the place as I know some parents may prefer to bathe their kids but we loved the wide showers nonetheless and our daughter did too!
Don’t expect to have creamers or kcups but there is a Kuerig machine available. We prefer fresh coffee and went down to the small coffee shop on the first floor of the resort to get our caffeine fix and we would have done that regardless if Kcups were available. There also wasn’t a standard sponge for cleaning dishes or laundry detergent for washing clothes. The latter we personally didn’t mind since were particular about what detergent we use, but again something to mention if you have expectations.
There’s a Walmart and liquor store just across the bridge, walking distance, if you needed supplies. The shop in the resort also had your standard supplies if needed.
The resort itself had amazing staff I quickly became friends with. There’s a restaurant on the 9th floor including a pool and gym. We didn’t take advantage of that so can’t speak to it, we instead spent our days on the beach which is right in your “backyard.” The resort offers 2 chairs and an umbrella but you need to walk a few minutes on the beach to get to the designated area. I believe the first chairs and umbrellas you see belong to another resort, and yours will be just after that. Not a deal breaker but good to have the heads up that you’ll need to walk a little bit.
Overall we had an amazing experience. It’s a great apartment to rent, great staff at the resort, and quick to get to from MIA.
