8.6/10 Excellent! (432 reviews)

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly, the condo was roomy and cozy. The only reason I didn’t leave 5 stars is because the pool was having maintenance done 4 out of the 6 days we were there and we weren’t made aware prior. Also, the extra linens for the pull out bed were soiled. But having a washer and dryer in the condo it was an easy fix.
