Great location, beach was amazing, condo has 5-6 beds on the beach, sauna great, steam room nice, workout facility was decent! Overall had a great time. Our room was clean, nothing stood out as "wish the room would of been...." We would stay here again for sure and actually thinking about renting for extended time.

Disliked: Communication
The view was absolutely stunning. The furniture was disgusting. The pullout couch cushions and mattress were dirty, the bed in the master was incredibly hard and squeaks. The lounge chairs are more comfortable than the bed!! One pool is supposed to close at sun down, everything else at 10. Security closed all amenities at sundown. Even the gym, sauna and steam room.
Pull out cushion we had to cover with sheets.
