This
review
is
written
by
a
non
owner
who
paid
full
price
to
rent
the
unit
through
the
hotel,
which
in
my
opinion
is
overpriced.
Lesson
learned.
Always
try
to
rent
from
the
owners.
I
will
try
to
include
as
many
details
as
possible
in
this
review
for
those
that
do
not
own
here
and
are
looking
to
rent.
We
had
arguably
one
of
the
best
views
in
the
resort
with
unit
1323.
Third
floor
ocean
view.
Gorgeous.
If
we
did
not
have
this
view
I
would
likely
be
disappointed.
The
unit
itself
is
very
clean
but
old.
The
bathrooms
showing
the
most
wear.
Master
shower
had
patches
everywhere,
the
fixtures
are
old
and
worn.
The
bathtub
drain
is
broken,
we
needed
to
use
a
knife
to
pop
out
the
drain
as
it
was
stuck.
We
had
maintenance
come
for
the
small
bathroom
because
we
couldn’t
shut
the
hot
water
off
and
my
husband
actually
had
to
shut
the
main
valve
off
so
the
sink
wouldn’t
overflow.
Cracked
tiles
throughout
the
unit.
The
kitchen
was
clean
but
toaster
should
be
replaced.
The
air
needs
to
be
adjusted.
The
master
bedroom
was
always
warm
but
the
second
bedroom
was
freezing.
The
fan
in
the
master
made
a
clicking
sound
but
after
a
few
days
we
got
used
to
being
hot
when
we
slept.
We
didn’t
spend
much
time
in
the
unit
so
overall
it
was
good
for
us
and
glad
we
had
a
lovely
view.
The
overall
resort
is
dated.
The
pool
is
old
but
very
clean.
inside
is
dark
and
had
a
dank
smell.
We
used
the
stairs
outside
our
unit
all
the
time.
It
was
frustrating
that
I
had
to
pay
additional
to
get
Wifi,
especially
considering
they
are
charging
$450
a
night!
I
found
that
the
majority
of
guests
are
owners.
We
noticed
that
by
7am
all
the
palapa’s
were
taken
every
morning,
even
chairs
with
umbrellas.
Sometimes
we
went
to
the
beach
at
2-3
after
our
excursions
and
found
everything
taken
but
maybe
20%
of
people
actually
sitting
in
the
chairs
they
reserved.
We
would
walk
to
get
coffee
every
morning
and
noticed
that
many
pool
side
tables
were
taken
early
too.
Had
we
spent
more
time
at
the
resort
this
would
be
infuriating.
There
were
guests
with
babies
and
kids
(like
us)
that
never
could
sit
on
the
beach
under
the
umbrella
or
palapas.
I
asked
an
owner
what
the
procedure
was
to
get
a
palapa
and
she
said
that
most
of
them
are
out
there
at
430-500am
putting
their
towels
down
to
get
the
one
they
want.
That’s
not
enjoyable
or
something
I’m
going
to
participate
in.The
beach
is
lovely
and
my
kids
had
fun
in
the
waves,
which
make
this
location
very
appealing.
Matthews
restaurant
is
great.
All
the
staff
are
very
friendly
and
service
is
good.
Overall,
location
is
4.5
stars.
Resort
3.5
stars.
Room
3
stars.
service/Staff
5
stars.
It
was
a
“good”
stay
but
charging
$450
a
night,
plus
taxes
and
fees
is
excessive.
I’d
likely
stay
at
Costa
Linda
next
time
as
this
resort
seemed
to
be
mostly
for
owners
and
not
really
for
new
renting
guests.
