Place was awesome. Very large space. Somewhat awkward layout/floor plan, but enormous balcony with two entries looking at the water that wraps around and seems to go on forever. 19th floor. Elevators are very slow, especially during checkout. There are some others down the hall, but they were slow too. Private entrance from the elevator to the room is nice. Beds are comfortable. Resort staff are very helpful and courteous. Quick walk to the beach. Great location near grocery stores, restaurants, etc.
Restaurants in the resort are EXPENSIVE. I recommend getting groceries and bringing them to the room.
Valet is $35/night plus tax. They get your car fast at any time, even after midnight. Resort fee is $40/night plus tax. We didn’t use any of the resort amenities. The listing was accurate about all of this - just make sure you factor it in.
Five star place, but four star review for two reasons. We had a death in the family and had to leave early. The host was responsive but didn’t offer to return the cost of our unused nights (even a partial discount). But hey, I’m sure people lie about this all the time, so I get it. The other reason is what I consider misleading attempts by the host to manipulate review scores by implying a discount and possible free stay later for a 5-star review. I asked repeatedly for clarification on this and eventually learned that 5-star wasn’t required in order to get the perks. This is good; had they said 5-star was required I would have reported them to Airbnb and given them a 1-star. They also kept hounding me about writing a review even though I was dealing with funeral preparation and didn’t have time to do it. Also they informed me that they gave me a 5-star review, implying that because of that, I should do the same. All of these are attempts to manipulate review scores.
If you’re OK with all of this, the place is great and I’m sure you’ll love it.
