8.8/10 Excellent! (754 reviews)
We had multiple 2 bedroom units and 3 bedroom units. The 3 bedroom were newer and the 2 bedroom were very outdated. One of the dryers didn’t work and it wasn’t fixed during the stay. Luckily we could use the dryer of a family member. Staff is rarely in the office. No elevators so if you were on the 3rd floor like us you had to haul all your stuff up the stairs. Kids did love the pool area. It was right by the beach. If you want a less expensive place and don’t mind the units being more outdated than the pictures show this may be a great fit for you.
