Condo was modern and clean, staff were very helpful and ensured we had what we needed. Location is excellent for dining and walking to public beach. Disappointing was the lack of beach at the property, pictures showed a nice beach which no longer exists due to hurricane and rising water levels.

Everything was nice , the only complaint was the TV never worked and they never showed up to fix it. So we didn’t have tv use at all. I called At 9pm the first day of our stay and they said it was too late to send somebody up and they would do it the next day and they never did it. Otherwise it was a good value and the staff was very nice and the restaurant staff were exceptionally good! I would definitely recommend this hotel! Dan & Amy from MN - USA

Just spent the past week at this lovely property! We were surprised about how spacious the unit was-and exceptionally clean! Felt like it was brand new. The pools were lovely-too bad that much of the beach has been eroded away but still was a pleasure to stay here. Very convenient walking to Fifth Avenue and night life/restaurants. A big thank-you to all the awesome and friendly staff!

Decent room with washer,dryer and separate bedroom. Rear patio is over an alleyway for service vehicles and was noisy at times. Couch is cement with 5 inch cushion that totally collapsed when sitting, we used pillows for comfort. There is zero beach, photos on line are from many years ago. Very disappointing. We walked to main beach, about a 10 to 15 minute walk. Pool is small and only has 4 loungers, which were very dirty, there are over 40 condos. Staff was pleasant, we did have to ask several times for toilet paper, tea towels and other basics after cleanings. Which they promptly brought. Center walkway is very attractive. Noise can be loud from adjoining resorts late into the night
