3/5 Okay

Traveled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The condominium was in good condition with basic furnishings and amenities inside. That said the area was dead with most shops closed and the recreation center has fee for every day of use. Really? Moreover front desk was unreachable for all Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. They did not support slightly late checkout to manage our water sport logistics so we had to checkout super early in the morning and use outside facilities after water sport. Defeats the purpose of staying at expenses NorthStar resort
