We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. It was our first trip taking our 3 little ones out of the US. so of course we were anxious about everything but it honestly could not have gone any smoother! Via email, Cheryl provided us with information on available transportation to and from the condo from the airport, as well as detailed instructions on entering the unit and who to contact for assistance. Once we entered there was a gift basket waiting for us of fruit and cookies, as well as freshly squeezed orange juice (and a couple local beers for mom and dad which we loved). That was so thoughtful, especially since we only had a couple bags of chips from the airport and it was already late in the evening when we arrived. The place was very clean and comfortable. It looked exactly like it did in the pictures.
There was more detailed information provided in the unit on things to do around town as well as restaurants to eat at. Even though there was a beach a half block away, the kids' favorite thing to do was to play in the swimming pool. You could find shade or sun whenever you wanted. And the people were so, so nice. From the locals who lived in the building to the staff who watched over the place, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Cheryl stayed in contact with us before, during and even a bit after our stay, just seeing if we had any questions or if there were any problems. There were none whatsoever. And when I let her know that our return flight home wasn't leaving until later in the evening on Saturday, she let us stay after checkout time just so we wouldn't have to carry our luggage throughout town with our three kids, as we waited for our flight home. As I said, it couldn't have gone ANY smoother. We would love to come back some time but I think the next time, we'd rather come back without the kids, just so we can try out more of the night life that we missed out on. It looks like there are quite a bit of opportunities in town to have some night time fun :) If you're looking for a nice affordable family place to stay that's walking distance to the beach and 5th avenue, make sure to give this place a shot!!!
