we had to go from the parking lot to our condo, we were thrilled to find a staff member who told us to go around to the side street and use the gate that was closer to our condo and he helped us unload the van and take everything to our condo. We used this same method when we checked out. We tipped them well; it was very worth it. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
About the condo:
It was nice enough but needs some attention. The wall unit is seen in the living room and the master bedroom. Since it’s outdated and isn’t big enough for a TV, there’s an additional piece of bulky furniture in front of it with a small TV on it. This makes the already small living room even smaller. The dining and living rooms are all one room and most of the furniture is too bulky for the small space. The shared wall unit in the bedroom is rigged with a picture covering it. In the master bedroom, there are side tables on each side of the bed. That is great, however, they’re too large and hang over the doorway that leads to the master bathroom, which that doorway also has a dresser nearby making the opening to the bathroom very small. We bumped our hips on them many times. The TV quality was not good— 85% of the channels were in Spanish and many channels were snowy/staticky. We don’t normally watch tv in RP but we were sick for 2 1/2 days. We think it was from drinks on the beach including one of those drinks in the pineapple. When we arrived most things were not plugged in - lamps, digital clocks, etc, so we thought everything was broken at first. Our stay was for 8 days, yet we only had 1 roll of paper towels, 4 rolls of tp,2 trash bags,2 kitchen towels. Also when we arrived the AC was not on and it took 7 hours for a 6 degree increase. It worked great once it cooled off but it seems the staff should have it turned on and everything plugged in when they know guests are arriving. The patio bar-height chairs were uncomfortable and that’s all that can be used to see over the wall. Many of the light switches did nothing so it was difficult knowing what works for what. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom- you had to stand on the bed to turn the light on/off if you want to keep the fan on at bedtime for instance.
Regardless of these things, we enjoyed our time there tremendously. We usually stay at Las Conchas, so this was our first time on Sandy Beach. We really liked watching all the here. Overall it is a nice clean condo in a great location.
