Wow! What a wonderful experience! This place is everything we could have hoped for in our vacation. What started off in a different Airbnb next door to this one as a bad experience was quickly put to rest when we moved over to Anatoly's place at the Tides.
I reached out to Anatoly a day prior to booking to see if his unit at the Tides was available because the unit we were in next door at Coral Sian was a big disappointment. His response was prompt and thoughtful. He went out of his way to communicate about when the prior visitors were leaving, how long it would take to clean the unit and when we would be able to check in. He provided details on how to check in and the process without prompting and it is his standard policy to provide guests with a warm welcome. We had a folder with clear information about the policies and information for staying at the Tides and were greeted with a bottle of bubbly!
The condo had beach views from the balcony, bedrooms and bathroom. Plenty of clean towels, soaps, paper goods, coffee and a fully-equipped kitchen were waiting for us. In addition, there were 6 nice Tommy Bahama collapsible beach backpack style chair, a high quality Tommy Bahama beach umbrella and plenty of beach towels. The closets had hampers and a collapsible towel dry rack. All closets had humidity control bags and the unit cooled very well. We never felt too hot or cold, or too humid. Beds and linens were clean and comfy!
One fob per two adults provided access to the fitness centers, got us in and out of all gated pool and beach areas and wristbands for all visitors indicated we were free to move about the two pools between both the north and south buildings, too. The walk to the pool and beach was short and there was plenty of chair space available at both pools, with lots of open beach area monitored by the coastal lifeguards.
Anatoly checked on us every day to make sure we had what we needed and was available via Airbnb, text message and email. I could not more highly recommend such an engaged and caring host and will be happy to return if we can still get in by the time we book our next trip! I have a feeling this will go fast! The unit was so nice, accurately and reasonably priced.
Have patience with groceries and other food deliveries as this is a very busy area. We used only Uber and had no problems back and forth from the airport or other destinations. The 4th of July evening was the only time there was a wait as law enforcement had redirected traffic due to the heavy influx of people to the beach to watch fireworks.
5 stars! Incredible! Please feel confident about your stay with this host and the kindness you will receive. Thank you!
