A nice place all in all, but not for me. I would not stay here again. It is definitely no frills... they basically give you one door code to get into the complex and another to get into your room - no staff to be seen the whole time. The room is basically a studio apartment, nicely furnished. It is clean and relatively-well kept up. The gear in the kitchen is well stocked, including a blender, utensils, glasses, dishes, and even spices. There is a microwave and toaster oven. And, there is a grill on the patio. However, since we eat out while on vacation, non of this is of much use.
The biggest problem for me came to sleeping. I commonly have no trouble sleeping well, and sleeping in new places. But there there 2 factors in our room that robbed me of this privilege - which explains why I am writing this review at 3AM. The room has small windows high up that face the central pool and courtyard. Unfortunately, that area seems to be well lit, all night. This results in a fair amount of light coming into the room, that you have no control over. Second, and the big deal breaker, there is a gurgling / pipe noise that prattles on through the night. The randomness of it makes it like a torture. Just when you think it is stopping, here we go again. It is unacceptable. Maybe the experience is different in other flats...? For reference, we are staying in flat 2.
This place is good for those who want to relax by the pool and BBQ, if you don't mind noise and light when you sleep. The bed is very comfortable and the lack of staff is interesting in that it is like staying at someone's house. Something else to watch for is the reservation policy. We commonly book a place that seems interesting a few months out while still "shopping around" for a few days. Right after we booked this place our credit card was charged and we received an email stating it was non-refundable. Quite unusual especially given that it was over a month into the future.
So, if the other reviews and this style of accommodation are your thing, give it a try. It is...
Read moreThis place is amaaaaazingggggg!!! When we first saw it we thought it might be too good to be true! It's absolutely beautiful in and out! Attention to detail doesn't even begin to describe it. They literally thought of everything! The longer we stayed the more amazing little details we found. We were out by the pool where they have relaxing ambient music playing all day, we thought about putting some music of our own on and found speakers around the pool with a remote! All we had to say was "of course!" Everything we ever wanted would just appear exactly where we would want it. We spent quite a bit of time just talking about how awesome everything was. Literally every little thing is brand new and beautiful!
David and Doug were awesome as well! Super friendly! If we needed help with anything all I had to do was text them and we would immediately get a response. They are staying there too so you'll definitely see them but they're happy to give you your space if you want some privacy. We also ended up hanging out with them in the hot tub. Felt like we were just hanging with friends even tho we just met them.
The place is also in the perfect location! $5 uber ride and you're in the heart of it all. But the resort itself is quiet. They also provide bikes (of course they do). We took our dog for a beautiful bike ride around the neighborhood in awe of all the beautiful houses and landscaping. There was another couple there that said it only took them like 10 minutes to bike to the grocery store, all on a bike path too so you're not directly on the road. So convenient!
We genuinely had the best time and were so impressed with everything! If you're considering staying here DO IT! You will not be disappointed!! We will definitely be back. It's our new...
Read moreI went with my Mom and 2 daughters and stayed in the 1 bedroom with a full kitchen. I have to say I was extremely pleased with how clean the apartment was and it had plenty of room for the 4 of us. We did not use the kitchen this time however it looked as it the had everything we might need. Even had a barbecue by the pool and one on our back patio . The only complaint our daughters had was that the pull out couch mattress was wrapped in plastic. I would imagine to protect it from little ones sleeping on it. Their must be another solution ? The pool area was AMAZING!! Has everything we would want and more! The man that seemed to manage the place (Michael ) was the kindest and most helpful person. He even said he lives very close by so if we need anything we could call him. We used the jacuzzi at night and it was hot and bubbly like we would all expect one to be. Right across the street is a dry riverbed where my Mom and I walked in the morning along with many locals walking their dogs and just enjoying the beautiful weather. They have bikes you can take at any time as well. Next time!! I WILL definitely be back. 2 nights was not...
