We just went for spring break with our teenage boys. Most people would want to stay in an all-inclusive resort, and while I see the appeal, we are so happy with our decision to stay at this condo. As others have mentioned, you will not be near any restaurants or stores. The closest restaurant for us was about 20 minutes and you must have a car rental while there. We loved being away from people even though there were many people around. You can take walks down the beach and not be bothered. We were always able to find a place to sit at the pool, and the beach always had a spot to sit as well. We met lots of nice people at the pool or beach who were either visiting for a few days or own a condo and stay part of the year there. If you want to get away from the crowds and typical tourist traps, this is the place to go. It was truly like paradise, and the facilities are very nice. My teens loved the hot tub and pool. I loved the beach and the views from the balcony. You can open the sliding door and hear the waves crashing in the distance.
The condo itself had all the amenities you need like a coffee maker, which was a combo of a carafe and a Keurig type. They also supplied a few coffee pods for you. They have a blender, pots, pans, plates, etc. Definitely cook a meal or two there if you can so you don't waste time going up and down the roads for meals out. The condo was clean and bright. They also have plenty of beach towels to take down to the pool or beach. The washer/dryer was nice in case you need to dry a bathing suit or wash something. It really had everything you need. A hair dryer under the sink and a steamer, both of which I also brought, but was nice to know they supply all of that as well.
One thing to note about the beach is that there is a lot of seaweed that hangs around in and out of the water. On certain days the water looked darker because of the seaweed, and other days the heavier winds turned the ocean more green/blue again. You can also walk down the beach and see other parts of the water and the color changes yet again. It's all very beautiful.
The communication with the property manager was excellent and very fast response time. We didn't need anything really arranged during our stay, but if I had a question about anything at all, Jasmine responded lighting fast.
We will definitely be back at some point. Hoping the restaurant that used to be there will reopen one day.
