"I recently traveled with my family to this apartment, and we were thoroughly impressed. The apartment smelled clean and fresh, and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend this property to families. The spa and pool were great, and the balcony offered a stunning view of the ocean. I even called the emergency number around 11pm for a problem with the air conditioning, and Sal, the maintenance guy, promptly fixed it. The condo is very quiet and well-maintained."
