The photos are very accurate. Nice clean place and the patio and deck are larger than the inside! Snorkeling is good right off of the deck, and great coral off of the point, if the waves don't beat you to death. Came here to celebrate our 50th anniversary and were greeted with a nice bottle of wine and wind glasses from the owner. Very much appreciated her doing that
The good - The Dolphin experience is the bridge you see in the photo. Everyday my wife and I could see the Dolphins jumping and could see them swimming under the bridge, really fun. The Dolphin experience, the Sea aquarium, a little Sea Lion show, plus Hemingway's, many restaurants and shops at Mambo beach, and dive shop are literally a 3 minute walk. We found our favorite restaurant at Mood beach, just by walking down the beach one night. Wonderful location but far enough away from some of the bars that noise wasn't an issue.
We spent the entire time on the patio and wood deck, eating outside or watching the stars.
The not so good - When we arrived, the cook top, the Microwave/convection oven combo and the plug for the TV were not working. Really disappointing because we couldn't cook anything for a day and 1/2. The cook top did get fixed but the microwave/oven was out the entire time we were there and other tenants were coming when we left. This is the only reason I gave the place 4 stars and not 5. Also, there were no paper products like toilet paper anywhere, so had to make a grocery run the night we arrived.
Things to be aware of -- The entire place is wired for European 220, so bring a 220 to 110 converter if you are coming from the US. We looked for 4 days to find one locally and no one had anything. Luckily, I found a dual 110 socket in the utility closet and used that to charge our phones and devices, but without that we would have been in big trouble.
There is an additional charge for electricity, that I didn't see called out in any of the rental agreement, but could be wrong. Just be aware that the management company will monitor the electricity usage and you could be charged. Consequently we only ran the air conditioner that, by the way, is only in the bedroom, at night. However, because the place has wonderful sliding doors and great ventilation, we didn't need air conditioning during the day.
Overall, we really liked the unit and would stay here again, provided everything is in working order. The deck and the view were well worth some inconveniences.
