Pros:
Location was great - family oriented, chill vibe. Great pool deck with beach bar, and DJ nightly for entertaining kids. Beach access was great.
Room was as expected. Awesome view. Easy access. Washing machine & dryer are a luxury in rentals, so it was fantastic to be able to use during trip. Kitchen well stocked with coffee!
Check in was easy at the property management. Got a text saying our room was ready 3+ hours prior to us getting onsite. Was surprised to hear upon check-in there was a $40.00 parking fee for our stay. However, would not have known there are carts for loading/unloading of bags, etc. if did not pay fee AT THE CONDO. You must register your car and you will get an assigned spot # for the duration of your stay.
Cons:
- Surprise $40 parking Fee. Wish owners would have mentioned that in fee description. Happy to pay. Just irritated you are basically forced into forking over the cash.
-This is a huge condo building, with amenities for owners. Owners SHOULD have a booklet of information relative to what the location. None was available.
Information that would have been good to know upon check in:
- There are garbage chutes at every floor (we asked)
- Information about activities, pool deck, pool hours - there was an indoor pool at the top of the facility, AND a (small but useable) gym - but if you don't explore, you don't know!
- I belive upon check in you can pull around to the garage and unload rather than drag the carts across the parking lot.
-WIFI password - this was located in 10pt text on the back of your check in information. Come on - how hard is it to put a piece of paper up on the fridge with that information?
Perhaps the most irritating thing we dealt with on our stay (and mind you-everything WAS great) The huge television - which was
CHILD LOCKED for programming AND did not have streaming services (disney+, hulu, showtime,) already loaded on the television.
My advice to owners - take the child lock of the telly and load on these streaming services. We WERE able to login to netflix - but with so many other options -better to have that ready for guests.
The only other odd item was that we did not order linen package and yet upon check in we found linens delivered to our door. We did not use them as I am unfamiliar with the process, but it just exacerbated my irritation of the 40.00 parking permit.
If possible during summer avoid the Saturday/Sunday check-in process - midweek is fast & easy!
