Not sure it was worth the money...
The condo was decorated nicely but the beds were incredibly uncomfortable and cheap and made a lot of noise for every move. There is construction going on right behind the unit so the hammering at 7am was annoying. The unit does not come with a grill as depicted and is 50 per usage! The unit does not come equipped with anything, even the salt and pepper or laundry soap, and had a very old coffee maker which I ended up buying instant coffee instead of filters and coffee, etc. Most places come with some basics, but not this place, not even a broom to sweep up sand. Bring "goo-gone" for the tar at the beach. The outlets in the kitchen don't work and neither does the wifi. The pool closes at 10 not 11 like the gate states and we were kicked out after having just got there and wanting to sit in the hot tub for a little. Overall, we were disappointed in the quality of the place especially for the money, but the location was great and nice to be able to walk to the beach. Would not stay here again though. We had a family of 6 with ages 5 years to 17 and 2 adults.

Amazing for kids!
The playground has been transformed into an incredible splash pad, and it’s absolutely fantastic! Conveniently located right next to the building, you’ll enjoy easy access on the first floor, no stairs to navigate. You’ll find the splash pad on one side and the front pool on the other, with just a short stroll to the second pool and beach. My little ones, aged 10 months and 3 years, had an amazing time! The condo is spotless and equipped with pots and pans, providing everything you need for a delightful stay. It also has a washer dryer, if you need to wash, bring a few laundry pods. The resort is very strict and clean. No random strangers allowed, very tight security which we loved! You need a bracelet and you get 2 car parking passes. The third pass is 85. (We could have planned better) . The host is absolutely amazing! Totally recommend! No bbq put on property, you have to bbq in designated area right next to this condo which is perfect!
Pros:
The check-in process was clear, simple, and easy.
The gate guard is available 24/7, providing a sense of safety, especially when staying with children.
The local customer team was friendly and helpful.
Cons:
There was ongoing construction in front of the patio, visible from the living room and kitchen, which was disruptive—especially since the work continued even on Thanksgiving day.
One of the hot tubs near our room was out of order.
There were issues with the Wi-Fi connection and the outdoor grill.
Overall, it was an okay property. Despite the inconvenience, we still enjoyed our stay, but some areas could be improved.
