Beautiful condos just like previous reviews... Spacious and fully stocked. We reserved 2 condos conjoined... Very beautiful and perfect for 3 families! since we rented 2 condos we were given 4 chairs 2 umbrellas for our week stay My complaint, however, is about the beach chair reservations. From previous condos we've stayed in, it's always been first come, first serve... Because not everyone comes to the beach everyday. No one should be allowed to reserve for the entire week?! Is this even possible? We arrived Saturday evening so Sunday morning we went out and got 2 left side back chairs (since we were told no canopies were allowed up front) However, right after being told that, someone put one up right in front of everyone on the left side! Then the rude owner never used it. They set it up and never came back to put it down till after 8pm! So the next day we come out to the beach again and this time given 2 up front chairs on the left side. After putting our stuff down and starting to set up, we were told the seats they assigned us for that day were already taken. In fact the reserver was rude to even say "he paid EXTRA for these chairs for the week!" We asked what are the rules here? The beach guy that helps with reserving had NO CLUE... He was "new"... He didn't even have a pen to write down reserved seating...We were given 2 back chairs on the left. So we go up to the 8th floor to ask HOA, what are the rules because if we need to reserve for the week, we can do that but we need to know... HOA says "we have no idea what the rules are, we have nothing to do with those chair reservations!" Are you kidding me? The next day we try and get the same back two seats in the back and were told they were already reserved and in fact already reserved for the week... They gave us middle back chairs for the rest of the week. Why? Why can't we have the chairs we've had the last 2 days? Because we didn't ask for the entire week? The first day (Sunday) I asked the same kid that told us first come first serve.... "why are you putting us now in the middle when you first told us 'first come first serve'"!? His response "I don't know what happened ma'am"
This may not seem like a big deal to you but when you see seats NOT being used by people who are allowed to reserve all week, it can piss you off because it would be nice to watch your kids from the front row and not always in the back... If the rules allow for you to reserve the entire week, great... The people who make the reservations need to be told, so they know to do their job!
Would also be nice to have some other things to do for teens. As stated in previous comments the pool is not as big as it shows in the pictures, but it's cool... One hot tub. You need a pool for rainy days! And yes it rained on us!
Will we back? I like the space but I've stayed In condos that are less expensive, a little smaller but offer more amenities. If the reservation rules to the beach chairs can be explained, next time we will know if we decide to come back. Until next year! Peace out!
