There was one very significant problem. We did not have air conditioning. My friends husband was sweating the entire time. Please decide if you may refund half of cost back to us. vmontalvo007@yahoo.com

This condo is beautiful and we had a great time overall. Very well decorated, very clean, comfy beds and kitchen well-stocked. We loved the pool and hot tub! I have to agree with a few of the other reviews I read regarding the lighting in the primary bedroom and the internet. The primary bedroom is very bright at all times. Even at night, as the property keeps the pool and patio lit 24/7, that light comes in the thin shade that is over the large window. I didn\'t mind it in the morning...nice to wake up to the sunshine but tough at night. The internet is very slow. This posed a bit of an issue as I had 4 teens who wanted to watch movies but we couldn\'t keep the tv\'s connected. Again, beautiful property and I would book this place again.

Condo was clean and very nice. Only thing i would recommend is a bigger bed in the master bedroom. We just felt a little cramped sleeping. Other than that everything was very nice
