Great location and beautiful view
The location couldn't be any more convenient, both for getting around the island, and services (restaurants, retail, etc.) + the beach within walking distance.
The view is awesome with the ocean literally at your feet below.
Plus, during the entire stay the condo was very quiet.
The pool is a very nice amenity, convenient, clean and not heavily used while we were staying there.
The bed is very comfortable with clean linens available throughout.
The condo is well stocked with all the necessary provisions.
One downside is the unit could use a bit of TLC, touch-up, minor repairs, etc.
Having only stairs and no elevator was not a problem, although it is up two stories above ground level (third floor). Good to keep that in mind with suitcases and if someone needs assistance.
The biggest downside, unfortunately, was the lack of air conditioning, except for the bedroom, which was greatly appreciated, as the rest of the unit was unbearably hot, even using all the fans and opening the doors to the outside. We were well aware of it not having air conditioning, but never expected such intense heat inside. It improved after about three days, and we wondered if the unit had been closed up for some time?
We did go down to the management office a couple of times to inquire about it, but although open, no one was there. And, yes, we could have called and left a message, but didn't bother.
Anyway, otherwise for the discomfort, there were many pluses too.
