8/10 Very good

The palapa house was a nice place to stay. Orlando was an amazing host, he was attentive and checked in with us every morning. He was always willing to help and responded immediately whenever we needed him. The property is your typical ocean view condo. The pool is nice, but if you are expecting a resort with a useable beachfront, I would stay somewhere else. The beachfront seemed as though it was more of a road for golf carts to traverse and less of a place to lounge around. The palapa grill was walking distance and the town was about a 5 minute gold cart ride from the property. The room was clean, the AC worked well throughout, and the bed was comfortable.

This was my (at least) fourth annual stay at this property. If you want to be close to town and many of its restaurants this is an ideal spot. It's very quiet, well maintained and the units with kitchens are well stocked. A maintenance manager (Orlando) is on the property daily and keeps the windows, grounds and pool spotless.

I wish coffee was provided in the rooms. Excellent view of the ocean, the mornings sitting outside watching the sun rise and feeling the ocean breeze was breath taking.

Our room was very clean and spacious. The AC was great and the view of the ocean was amazing expect for the property sign which was attached to our balcony. The pool was small but enough to cool off in. The staff was friendly and having the key box to check in and out with was super easy! The location was awesome as it was close to restaurants and even walkable to the airport! No golfcart needed!
