9/10 Wonderful! (56 reviews)
The only thing I really didn't like this trip which is a disadvantage versus when renting a hotel here is that when my guests came even though I paid for me and a guest it was difficult because you had to add them to your guest list by submitting a request online to whomever the person was that had the lease or on the apartment whereas a hotel person just present their ID and then they go up with you. The process when you want a guest after you checked in is perplexing and you have to be patient because you have to take time to get in contact with the owner.

The staff were very friendly and courteous. The area of the resort was Sant Teresa which is an artsy area and easy to get around. Transportation is very easy to get around with uber and trolly.
