Good fit for our family vacation
Great location and perfect size for our family of 4. Views were really nice. AC in the living room doesn't work so it was hot in the main area. Bedrooms were comfortable for sleeping with working AC units. Master bedroom and bath was really nice! Kitchen could use more towels and apartment was not stocked with trash bags. Also some weird condensation spots on the floor that were slippery. Minor issues but an overall really good stay!

Comprehensive review
There is a lot to say about this property. I will try to be comprehensive. The positives far out weigh the negatives. It is large and fairly modern. The views are stunning and the location is great for going to the beach. Prior to booking it i read all of the reviews. I found some of the same issues listed when I arrived. Before I go into them let me preface this by saying that I was able to fix almost all of them easily without having building maintenance get involved. For example the worst review spoke about a septic smell. I experienced it on the second day and immediately knew the cause and the solution. I was only using one of the bathrooms. The other had not been used. Water needs to be in the drain trap to block the septic gasses from entering the living space. This had evaporated with the lack of use. Turning on the water and opening the window solved the problem almost instantly. I made it a point to do this every day for my stay and never had an issue. The bedrooms have air-conditioning and fans but the living room air-conditioner did not work with any of the remotes. This was the only thing I could not find a solution for during my stay. The bathroom sink leaked. This was an easy fix for me because I know plumbing. My fix was temporary because it was a modern bowl type of sink that sits above the countertop. The issue is because the sink was never adhered to the countertop properly. If you touched it so that it moved even slightly the tailpipe wo

The property itself was amazing. The staff was awesome. From the security to the cleaning staff, everyone had a smile and treated us with the utmost respect. Any questions I had, they attended to immediately. The place was very clean and the view was out of this world. I mean, wow. Every window in the place has an awesome view. The best view I’ve ever seen in my life would be the one in that master bedroom. The area outside of the building is a little sketchy especially if you can’t speak Spanish. The food around there is absolutely amazing though. Every place we ate at (and we tried at least 7 of the restaurants around there) were unbelievable. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

Por favor lee las reseñas anterriores antes de reservar.
El lugar tiene una vista hermosa , ya que se encuentra ubicado en el ultimo piso 25. El apartamento es agradable, pero lastimosamente tuve que irme temprano al dia siguiente, no dormimos nada porque se sentia mucho calor, el aire de la habitacion principal jamas enfrio, y la segunda habitacion tenia un olor a cañeria muy fuerte , asi que tuve que dormir con mi pequeña niña en la sala, pero nada comodo, el aire de la sala al parecer es pequeño para todo el espacio, asi que aun se sentia calor. Habia un ventilador de techo, pero solo esta de lujo, no funciona y no cuentan con ventiladores de piso adicionales. Por mi experiencia no lo recomendaria.

The view from this property was amazing. However, the unit is poorly maintained. Two of the sinks either linked or wouldn't drain. One of the shower doors doesn't close. All the windows leaked during rainstorms and the glass door to the deck actually blew into the living room. There was no Wifi for the entire time we were there. No blankets were provided. Attempts to get these items addressed went on deaf ears with the management on site and the owner was not responsive.

I can honestly say that I had an AMAZING stay! The property is beautiful, the area is safe, the staff were all very friendly & responsive. My only draw back was that they did not fix the air conditioner in the master bedroom which I slept in. They did bring out a technician to look at it but he never returned as they said he would, so the room was without any working air conditioner for the remainder of my stay. They did bring in a fan which I appreciated, However; if it was peak summer weather it would have been very uncomfortable. I was able to manage thru without it but that was my only draw back. I would certainly recommend this property & i would definitely return again with confirmation of a working air system in the master bedroom. Everything else was Beautiful & accommodating!

Top 10 Reasons NOT to stay here!
Top 10 reasons why you should pass on this property: #10. The outside of the building is really scary looking. #9. Upon entering the penthouse, the horrendous sewage smell will knock you blind (so you will never experience the penthouse view). #8. The host will literally ignore you after you pay. #7. The sewage smell inside the apartment will make you nauseous. #6. Bring your own face towels, paper towels, extra tissue (only 2 rolls provided), any desired toiletries (the suggestion of luxury is just that--- a suggestion). #5. Did I mention the smell? #4. Bring your own air-conditioner for the master bedroom (that's only if you desire cool comfort in 80 degree weather); however, if you prefer a sauna-like room, this will be perfect for you. #3. Oh, and about that penthouse view ....you know those blinders they put on the horses in Centro to keep them focused----pack a pair, you will need them if you look right or left--- the view is really not like the pics. #2. Bring your own blanket/comforter... you won't be provided any with this booking (except, if you occupy the master bedroom.... (well, you know). #1. Did I mention the smell??? Pack oxygen mask. ( NOTE: We left after the first day... didn't ask for a refund. We figured a property as classless as this, wouldn't be inclined at all to do the right thing. The negative reviews on this property are not liars... we should have listened 😢.)

Good location on Boca Grande. Good views from balcony. Unit has most amenities but is in poor material condition. Sliding doors to balcony didn’t close properly. Sheets and towels provided but no bedcover. Most importantly, did NOT have hot water entire visit. Owner/Manager was easy to communicate with (in English) but didn’t fix the problem during our stay.
