We LOVED the building we were in (Windward) and would stay there again. Windward and Leeward are two smaller buildings that are closer to the beach than the other towers. Definitely quieter without the crowds from the towers, lagoon pool and restaurant. Plus only 6 floors so elevator wait wasn’t bad (even though we didn’t use them much). The beach area for these two buildings is not nearly as crowded as in front of the towers. Very short walk to the beach!
There is a pool between Leeward and Windward and we only used this one. Unfortunately the lagoon pool was a crazy crowded mess and if you didn’t get down there by 6 am any decent chairs we’re already covered in towels. Even so, the pool is so crowded it is hard to enjoy. The hot tubs were WAY TOO HOT to even hang your feet in. Plus the other hot tubs at tower 2 and 3 weren’t even operable. Pool for tower 3 appeared to be completely closed. Overall though, we spent most of our time on the beach so no bigger for the pools.
Condo was nice and roomy. Being on the first floor was certainly a plus. Only had to use the elevator when bringing in luggage or many groceries. Otherwise stairs were easier. (The elevator was awful! No fresh air, usually wet floors due to people coming in from the beach and very slow! I was always worried that it would get stuck LOL)
Beds were ok, but furniture is VERY worn. There is carpet everywhere except kitchen and bathrooms. It felt dirty and you can tell by the shag that is has seen better days. The condo itself is extremely dated….tub has some mold, kitchen sink is tricky getting hot water but good fridge with a working ice maker which is definitely nice. The kitchen was poorly stocked, not a skillet or pan to be found. Pots were available though.
The furniture on the patio is awful, soooo old really needs to be replaced. Uncomfortable and at that, there are only 3 chairs.
Our adult children stayed in a condo on the 6th floor with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and their stay was $1000 less than our 2 bedroom. PLUS theirs was completely updated with quartz countertops, tiled throughout and beautiful high top seating on the balcony with plenty of chairs. For the price, they had a much better value! For the cost of our condo, the owners should reinvest into making the stay more pleasant.
Overall we had a very good experience but will definitely shop around for a nicer condo with a better price.
