Walls are thin. Was woken up early (5am) every morning from noise outside the street (I was in 342). Can hear people walking above you. Then when leaving, I was charged for “room damage” because the BLUE ironing board bled onto one of their towels. I explained that their ironing board stained my shirt when attempting to iron it but I didn’t think to charge them for the shirt. Their response: “show me a picture of the shirt”. Wow lol We were fully packed up with the car loaded and they wanted me to pull it out and show them rather than them checking the BLUE ironing board in the room. We normally stay next door at Playa Palms and we will be returning there next year as we have the precious 4 years except this one.

Lots of false advertising. There’s NO spa, not 2 restaurants there, gym is down the road few blocks. Partial ocean view room had NO sea view from room! There’s a slice of water view from patio which is outside unit and up exterior stairs. Hot tub old and small. On good side- service great from staff, patio huge with nice grill and lots of seating. Decent kitchen but broken dishwasher. Would not return.

The property is secluded and quite. Has excellent pools which are not very busy. The rooms are clean and the staff are pleasant. I did not enjoy the beach, filled with boats and unable to swim freely.

In visiting a new location for the first time, we do a considerable amount of research to ensure a safe, fun and active vacation. From the moment arriving, it felt like we were in a tropical garden with the lush landscaping throughout the four story open setting. The free parking was a plus located on the grounds. The unit hot tub was a treat each day along with the heated pools. The office management and concierge were exceptional along with related staff in making our stay memorable. The location, three blocks from the long blocked off 5th Avenue is extremely convenient to an abundunce of restaurants and shopping. Each unit has table and chairs outside to enjoy morning sunrise with coffee or evening wine.In summary we felt VERY safe walking around town at night, which is important to us! Of all the places we considered
