Prior to arrival, I anticipated this being a repeat go-to place for us, but....
Husband and I are retired and wanted a weekend away, so we picked a condo at the San Luis. All the rooms face the beach, and seeing the sun, water and beach from the condo and balcony was going to be fabulous.
Upon arrival we pried opened the sliding glass door to the patio off the main room. Ahhh! We also wanted to open the sliding glass door to the patio outside the bedroom, but
(1) it wouldn't open. It had the same lock as off the main room, so we called about it -- does it open?, and they said someone would come by (I thought the people answering calls about the unit might know), but
(2) nobody did.
I didn't anticipate the multi-day (week?)
(3) of bird poop on the patio and
(4) outdoor furniture that was so dirty top, bottom and between that we wouldn't want to sit there. And if we wanted to clean it ourselves, we'd have to go to the store to purchase paper towels (I wouldn't want to use anyone's cloth towels on that stuff). After receiving a text asking if the condo had been cleaned to our satisfaction, I called and asked if someone would come by to clean the outdoor furniture. We sure would like to sit on the patio and enjoy the view from outside.
(5) Nobody came.
So supplement the marvelous meals at local restaurants, we took some frozen food to eat in the condo. I placed a meal in the microwave, started the microwave, it rotated and made noise, but
(6) the darned thing wouldn't work. I tried starting it different ways, to no avail. I didn't call, because nobody came for the other two calls, so why try?
(7) Then there's the A/C-heat issue. This could just be me, but I couldn't get it to maintain a temperature. The last night, I set it to Fan-auto and Heat-75 or something. In the morning it registered 93 degrees. This happened each night with the A/C or heat, so I'd get up and switch it from A/C to heat and visa versa.
(8, 9, 10) Oh, and minor compared to the above, but could at least one roll of paper towels, one box of Kleenex and an ice cube tray be provided? Luckily, I took a box of Kleenex, and I made ice in the bowls provided, broke it up with knives.
