Guest Reviews

• Edna (7/5): Good - The location was what I liked. It was close to the beach and that's what we were looking for. The apartment was not very well cared for. Needs more maintenance. The ceiling fan in the living room was coming part. The guest restroom was missing the knob to the shower and the lights were not working. Also there was a hole on the wall where the striker is missing so the doorknob has hit the wall several times. In the bunkroom, the closet doors were broken and off the rails so we could not use the closet. The washer was leaking water from underneath and the dryer wasn't drying properly. The curtain rods on the patio door were bent and was difficult to open the curtains. The stove broiler is a tripping hazard because the bottom door is so damaged it sticks out.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Dirty - Dirty sheets in my room and all 4 bunk beds ,had stain and smelled like they haven’t been washed at all, owner never answered me,had problems with the room passcode all my stay there, clogged showers, main gate broken it didn’t even need a passcode ,after o told him about the sheets he told the hotel.com agent he was going to change bed sheets but instead sent a bottle of gain spray ,never will I rent this place again
• Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (3/5): Cheapgetaway needs to look into this property because it makes this company look very bad by listing - I think the only thing that was good was the location. The condo has potential if it was well taken care of and maintained. The condo we were in must have been the poorest in the property. It was very DISAPPOINTING. First of all, I never received any info on which room we were in. I called and texted the host and the phone was turned off after the first ring. So I had to try the code on every room that did not look occupied until I found ours. As soon as we walked in the strong bad smell was overwhelming. My son had to spray it down. The fridge was dirty, the main bathroom sink was dirty, the 2nd bedroom lights did not work. The remotes for the televisions did not work. We had to use our phones as a remote. Then it stated we had to use our personal information on our apps if we wanted to watch TV. The floor was dirty, you could feel it on your feet. The comforter in main bedroom was dirty. The master bed was very uncomfortable, it made so much creaking with any movement. The sofas in the living room were so disgustingly dirty , smelly it was unbelievably disappointing. The curtains in balcony area were filthy and stained. I would never recommend or go there again. If anything I should be reimbursed at least half of what we paid. Lastly, there was a fee for bracelets that we never received but were charged for. There were towing signs everywhere. When texted host the following day, they mentioned they never tow in area but other condo guest all had parking permits on windshields. So we were very uneasy every night not knowing if our vehicle would be towed. Forget to mention the roaches and crickets.
• Amber (10/5): Exceptional - I was able to call for questions, and he picked up on the first ring every time. It was a challenge checking out by 10 a.m. on the last day. But we knew that was checkout time at the time of reservation.
• Belen (8/5): - Overall we really enjoyed the location, it was very close to the beach, amazing restaurants market places and attractions. Also ,with the extreme heat we really enjoy the pool and the cool ac our room had... Our only small complaint was the cleaning fee of $170 for a not so clean condo...after speaking to our host he helped explain the cause and stated he would address it....
• Laura (1/5): This place needs a lot of maintenance- sheets need to be washed- beds had blood, stains, and sand - Close to beach Place poorly maintained- everything broken and dirty
• Leobardo (4/5): Terrible experience 😡 - The place was in really bad shape . . . It was Dirty, furniture was terribly worn out, beds were loose appeared as if they were gonna break. . . . Shower heads not working properly. . . Really bad communication with owner of property. I paid $50 for early check in and I was charged $409 dollars for checking out one our late. I was charged for a whole day. That's equivalent to stealing. Makes this app untrustworthy. Check out was at 11am and by 1pm I had already been charged another night for cheking out two hours late.
• Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Baldemar (7/5): Good - Location. Nice place Issues with bathroom toilet took 3 calls to get fixed and sofa was broken never got fixed
• Jay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carolyn (6/5): - Close to the beach. Kids enjoyed the pool.
• Sabrina (10/5): - Amazing time great place to stay
• magdelene (10/5): Could of had better for the price - The ceiling fan was hanging by wires my tv in the master bedroom was missing the cord to give it power, none of the remotes worked on the tv in the living room..
• Helen (10/5): - GREAT experience!!! Would stay again and always recommend this property to friends!!
• Ignacio (2/5): Bad business - Horrible no ac in the condo then they tried getting us another one and couldn’t. Had to lend us his house at the island but no water didn’t check in until around 9pm.
• Sarah (2/5): - I wasn’t notified that I had to check in early. I was working that way so when I got there I wasn’t able to stay the first night. Extremely upset. It’s filled with bugs and spiders. I definitely won’t stay there ever again.
• Rene (6/5): Family vacation - Perfect location to walk to the beach
• Luis (10/5): Great place and location! - The place was great! Everything we needed was provides. My only complaint would be that 1 of the toilets didn't flush well. Other than that, great place!
• Nadia V. (2/5): Dirty place with dirty sheets roaches - We checked in during the day was charged for a deposit and cleaning fee. Place was dirty has roaches all over the place. Beds has stains on them found a toothpick on one of the beds. There was hair on the towels. Very upset with this place. We left from the place cause I wasn't gonna let my kids sleep on dirty sheets. Or that dirty of a place
• Marlene (10/5): ENJOYED IT!!! - We loved our stay., our condo was clean and out stay was just the best! Will definitely be staying there again.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Bad service Smell bad Tv not working Electrical plugs expose danger Locks not wotking
• Heloisa H. (10/5): Cute little condo, very spacious. - Cute little condo, very spacious, private pool.
• Niza S. (8/5): Wish we had a 3 bed room cuz we had 9 people - We like it it was good close to the beach And the only thing was the washer didn’t work but other then that it was good
• Verified traveler (2/5): WORST Experience Ever - If you want a weekend getaway or your vacation ruined book here now.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Check in took over an hour and the owner wouldn’t respond. The spectrum cable didn’t work all weekend so in times of relaxation after the beach, there was NOTHING TO DO at the condo. The owner was made aware and never responded. Horrible experience.
• Bobbie (2/5): Stay clear! - The owner is awful! Stay clear of this place. The owner is the most unethical person I have ever done business with. He doesn’t send you the contract until you have already paid your fees and I was already heading there. Contract had questionable items like a minimum 2 night stay because the property company requires this but he doesn’t abide. You pay a resort fee yet a security guard came by to tell us that it is an additional $5 per person because we didn’t have wristbands. I invited my sister’s family over to have pizza with us so I paid wristband for them as well now they owner says he will not refund deposit! He will refund if I remove my negative review! I am paying $250 to save your vacation. Don’t rent this place. The kid pool had a roach floating in it. Big group at night smoking marijuana in the pool no security then.
• Noe (4/5): Rude owner - RST SERVICE EVER! I’ve been going to the island since I was a baby and NEVER had I experienced this type of attitude from owner of s condo. To start of the check in is st 4 pm and check out at 10 am, this doesn’t make any sense not even a full day of rent. They took super long to send me the contract so I could sign and suggested that if I wanted to go in earlier I could pay $50 EXTRA and that we could go in earlier. We where there since 12 pm and then claimed that ny signature on the contract did not match the one on my ID. TAny ways we got the access code at 2:30 pm and surprise! Now he was charging me extra for one extra person because the cleaning lady told him that there where 8 of us instead of 7, let me remind you the advertising said 10 person capacity!!!! So even if the “extra” was staying there bo one should have ever charged us extra! The kitchen was torn up from the ceiling, two of the beds where completely covered in sand and cat/dog hairs, both TVs did not work at all and the entire place smelled humid. They charge $97 for cleaning but you have to clean everything????? According to the rules. Also personal belongings and food where left there feom the past guest or left by the owners im guessing. Over all a horrible experience the entiee time the owner was INCREDIBLY rude to both my husband and I and kept on blaming us. Oh and forget about my $50 extra for getting in 1 and a half hour “earlier” lol.
