Very nice condo
This condo is very updated and nice inside. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need (except measuring spoons😁). The view from the balcony is great Our disappointment comes not with the specific condo, but with the complex itself. Until mid to late afternoon, the swimming pool has absolutely no shade except for two tiny tables under a thatched umbrella. There is no where to lounge in the shade and the sun gets brutally hot. Additionally, there are no beach umbrellas for rent anywhere so there is no way to have any shade on the beach. These might be minor problems for some, but we were 4 adults in our 70’s looking to just relax on the beach or by the pool and not work on getting a tan. We do not have our own beach umbrellas, nor would we have been able to put them up if we did. If you are okay with the above info, then I recommend staying in this condo (but bring your own toilet paper…😁)
