Everything was amazing! Check in and parking (street parking) was quick and easy. Lots of restaurants, bars, and the beach within walking distance. We stayed in the Garnet room and it was more than enough room for two people.

The morning we're getting ready for the airport, the water stopped while I was in the shower. I tried to call the number provided when checked in because this place doesn't have a front desk and no answers. We ended up going to the airport without showers/ no teeth being brushed, it was horrible. My advice is to get a room with a front desk, with $250/night you can get a much better place.

the rooms were good, but the remotes for the tv and the air conditioners did not work well and there were not enough towels in the bathrooms. Also, the host said we could park in the gated area, but then someone else parked in front of it, blocking our access to it. Otherwise the place was clean and nice being near the park.

The room was clean and it was easy to get to. It was a fairly basic room and bathroom with all the necessities. It is close to a beach and a large park which was nice. If you need somewhere to sleep and wash up it will do the job.

Our family of 4 had an amazing visit! The apartment was clean and spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The location was marvelous and close to stores and restaurants. The kitchen also had 2 burners, so I was able to cook home meals. The air conditioning was freezing, which was a plus for me! There’s also a beautiful park right across the street that is well lit that has different activities. The security police are always patrolling in their vehicles. Very safe with 2 gates and our front door. Definitely would recommend.

nice little uilding in despeartie need of cleaning inside and outside. Buy a powerwasher for Pete's sake! big gap under the entry door and a big lizard came and ran around the front room our first night. Also we had 50 or so case bug cocoons all over especail in the door jambs and corners of the walls. Kitchen items were old and cheap. Bedroom light is old, crusty and didn't work. Bathroom mirror needs to be replaced. Wouldn't take much to make this place much more comfortable and protect your valuable investment!

I loved the room and the location and had a great sleep. The room was large and nicely appointed. The space felt very secure, my room was large and had a fantastic patio and cool decor. My only feedback is about entering the property. I had difficulty with the gate and was instructed to look for angel statues to find the key but the statues were covered with bags of laundry so it took a while. It was still a 5 star experience and I will be back.
