Excellent Location!
We stayed at this property for 4 weeks in March/April, 2023. It was very expensive, in our opinion, but you can't beat the location. Sunsets and wine on the balcony were beautiful, as were mornings with coffee!! But the internet is terrible and it made using computers or Apple TV very difficult. Even the cable tv would say No Signal frequently every evening. Modems look antiquated...so getting "work from home" done proved frustrating. Plenty of cookware, very little bakeware and the cookie sheets in the bottom oven drawer looked like they had never been washed so we didn't use those. Plenty of plates, very few glasses or mugs and much of the dishware was chipped. It's a rental so I get it.....but be careful in the morning drinking coffee as most of the mugs are chipped. Beds were comfortable, decent sheets and towels are offered; living room furniture was not very comfortable. It is nice to have a washing machine and dryer in the unit. Washing machine is loud and doesn't spin the water out real well, but still better than having to go to a laundromat. The front of the building bedroom (extra bedroom) smells very musty. Tried cleaning that attached bathroom toilet, sink and shower with a bleach cleaner, but it didn't do much good. I think this unit just needs a good dehumidifier. The faucets in the bathrooms crunch or grind when turning them on and have very little water pressure. They probably need to be replaced. The shower heads have great water pressure, but the one in the guest bath shoots out and onto the shower door which means water all over the floor every time you shower. Needs a shower head that points down to the floor to avoid a constant water mess.
The fitness room in this building is great. Newer equipment and recently remodeled. It's quite nice and has a great view when walking the tread or biking on the recumbent. The gate attendant is a very nice man and helpful, as are the people in the office. The grounds are beautiful and they take very good care of the pools, landscaping, barbecues etc.
The check-in process and check-out process was on a weekend for us. Worked flawlessly!! Overall our stay was 3.5-4 stars....based on pretty old technology offered and chipped dishes and very used furniture. This building and the view are top notch, however!!
