Location was great! Resort is very old. The condo I rented was completely outdated, furniture has an odor and we couldn’t charge our devices because the plugs were too loose. Too much money! Completely Disappointed.

Great Vacation
This was a great trip and I wished it has lasted longer! The room could use a few updates. The sliding door did not lock but since it was the 2nd floor we didnt worry much. The main door dead bolt looked as if it had been kicked in before. Overall I definitely would go back it was clean and roomy!

A lovely property, very well kept even if it is a bit older than nearby places. Peaceful and quiet - just what we wanted! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the future.

Good value for the price.
The listing said the unit had 6 beds, but there were only 4, management was kind enough to provide us with a queen air mattress and sheets that served the needs of our party of 5. The unit had some minor damage I made management aware of and should not be charged for. I hope these changes are update for the next visitor.

Good stay!
Our stay was good overall. We had a noisy window the first night but were able to fix the issue and sleep well the other nights. I suggest that you put dark curtains in the bedrooms in case your guests want to sleep in.

Perfect stay for our family. The resort is at the end of the island. It was easy to spread out and social distance on the beach. The apt was old and needed to be updated but it was clean and spacious.

It was a pretty far walk to the beach. The treadmills in the fitness center were old and difficult to use. The condo we stayed in was fine, but it could definitely use some minor repairs and some updates.
