Beautiful property. Beautiful condo. Disappointed to learn immediately upon check-in that it is a Marriott property, a hotel, which is pertinent info to share with prospective renters. First of all, it changes the “vibe” of the building (it wasn’t nearly as private as I expected). If I wanted a hotel property, I would have searched for locations and used my Marriott award points that I’ve earned through the years. Instead, I get there and realize that not only is it anything BUT private, I am unable to register as a Marriott guest, which wastes the thousands of dollars I spent for the 3 nights. I felt duped.
Secondly, amenities weren’t clearly and openly described. There is a daily charge for WiFi (unless of course I could have checked in as a Marriott Elite member but...). Also, it isn’t clearly stated that you must bring your own beach chairs down to the beach, instead of using the beach lounge chairs provided by the hotel. Basically, the amenities listed as part of this condo are greatly exaggerated/not fully disclosed.
I ordered room service twice, the food was excellent. But on the second night they didn’t deliver my completed order. I called downstairs 3 times to ask for it to be fixed, and despite promising to come right up, they never showed. Quite disappointing.
Again, beautiful condo, but I urge the owners to commit to FULLY disclosing EVERYTHING in the property description for future prospective renters. It’s just the right thing to do...especially at this price point! Thank you!
