We enjoyed our time at the condo very much. The bed was incredibly comfortable and water pressure in the showers is great!
This unit has a fantastic view and the beach access is ideal if you want to just wake up and go. I’d also take advantage of happy hour rates at the pool and the sushi place next door, Etaru. Best times to lounge at the pool are at 7 am (sunrise) when no one is there. So beautiful.
We also went during Thanksgiving time/Hurricane season, so the beach was pretty windy and cloudy but in the high 70s the whole time. If the clouds came by and it ended up raining, the rain cleared the beach and was happening more inland, which left the beach area really sunny. The sun also starts moving behind the buildings around 1-2 pm, so the best time to be at the beach is before then if you want to sunbathe.
With the unit being part of a resort on the beach with a pool and gym, there weren’t too many other amenities once inside the unit. Two packs of dishwasher detergent and a pretty flimsy sponge. If you’re planning on cooking, you’ll want to bring oil, salt and pepper, dish detergent, and light cleaning supplies to tidy up after. You’ll also want to bring laundry detergent if planning to use the in-room laundry appliances. Alternatively, you can buy these items at the local grocery store that’s a 10 minute walking distance.
It was practically impossible to get the concierge on the phone; there always seems to be someone physically manning the area, but when calling down, no one seems to answer.
If traveling during COVID-19, bring your own beach towel as well. The concierge told us towels could be found in the pool area, but the pool staff told us “no”, which just led us to further confusion and temporary frustration. Technically it’s part of the beach service, but both the beach and pool staff informed us they weren’t providing beach towels to guests.
It’s a great unit at a comfortable price point so I’d recommend it and come again with the above understanding!
