The location was great. Easy to get everywhere that we wanted to on the island. The condo was really nice and comfortable. Cozy bed, good couch. Great wifi. Bathroom had lots of storage and was well stocked with towels for the place and the pool. On the subject of the pool, it was really chill. Nice area with pergola, loads of chairs, plenty of room. Would definitely stay again.

I liked the closeness to the beach. The bed was comfy. All the food options close by. But the room was not clean. Whoever does the cleaning only surface cleans. I had a hard time being comfortable.

Location was great! Right next to Walmart and super close to the beach. It said there was a heated pool (which is one of the reasons we chose this condo), but when I asked the person in the office about it, she said the heater hadn’t worked for a while. Other than that, everything was as described.
