Polynesian Paradise
Without our knowledge and without out permission, the owner changed the dates of our condo stay but did not charge us more money. We were at the condo Jan. 4-Jan. 31, 2023 - not Jan. 1- Jan.31, 2023. We did not request the change. The condo needs to be updated - such as old kitchen chairs and table need to be replaced. The master bed comforter was torn and open to the filling - apparently damaged by a dryer. The master bedroom does not have a window or an exit other than an interior door. The smoke detector was on top of the refrigerator. We never found a carbon monoxide detector or a fire extinguisher as stated in the contract. There was no book of instructions for the equipment in the condo - such as the dishwasher, the microwave, the stove/oven, the washing machine and the dryer. The ice maker was frozen with no directions on how to correct this problem. There were several unlabeled keys which we did not know what they unlocked. The shower head was leaking in all directions and was fixed by a friend of the owner several days after we arrived. The television was not hooked up to cable in the condo and the owner's friend corrected this problem. No games or travel information were found in the condo which many VRBO units have. There were no replacement light bulbs to fit the ceiling fan. Some decorative glassware in cabinets could be removed so there is space for canned/boxed foods. The kitchen was well stocked with silverware, dishes, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. The people (other residents) were friendly and helpful. We participated in activities in the condo association and really enjoyed the other residents. The condo grounds were extremely well maintained. We enjoyed picking and eating fresh oranges, grapefruits, and lemons from the fruit trees in the complex. The location of the condo is good for all parks, museums, and access to the 101 and the 202 AZ highways.
