Negative Reviews
negative:
Condo quality can vary
The condos typically attract great feedback but reviews indicate that as the condos are individually owned, standards can vary. It does appear unlikely that you will be disappointed but there is a chance that you will be allocated a condo that is not quite up to scratch.
negative:
No housekeeping service
Guests note that there is no housekeeping service and you will be required to take out trash yourself. While this isn't a big issue, it is perhaps not what you want to be doing while on holiday. To change linens and towels, you will need to go to the front desk.
negative:
May find sofa beds uncomfortable
A minor point and one which will only affect people who are taking advantage of the full occupancy rate in the condos but guests do tend to find the sofabeds uncomfortable. They are likely to be okay for children but may prove disappointing to adults.
