The best part about my stay at these condominium was the security guard Nelson, he was always pleasant, a smile on his face and a good attitude. The outside it's also very beautiful well maintained however for apartment 1, the master bathroom the water was always cold as informed to me by my travel companions, the other bathroom with the tub was hot and cold, it would get extremely hot then cold, there was a travel size shampoo on the bathroom with the tub but that's about it. The pool looked beautiful but the jacuzzi is not heated. And as for cleanliness i don't think it's throughly cleaned, there was crumb like stuff on the bed frames, decided not to look too much into it fearing the worse

This is an amazing place!! I wish we could have stayed here for 2 weeks. Every employee remembered our name, the service was amazing! For a large resort they made it feel small. Every detail was taken care of and surpassed! The location is incredible beautiful. We enjoyed every moment.
