Budget-friendly condo minutes from the beach
Broadly, our stay was enjoyable. While the condo was livable, the state of the unit reflects a home that is not used by the owner. The budget friendly price comes at a cost. Most of these costs are acceptable exactly what I expected - tired, worn out, and threadbare furniture, very old carpeting, heavy wear on walls, doors, etc. The renter provides some simple kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. While its standard that these be on the cheap and well-used side, I was very disappointed by the physical state of these items. In particular, the knives were so dangerously dull that we stopped cooking anything entirely. Every knife was serrated, yet could barely saw through any fruit or vegetable. Cutting meat was out of the question. Pot and pan handle rivets were loose and threatening to fall off while cooking. While I recognize we were in a tropical destination, and pests are extremely difficult to do away with entirely, I have to say that I have never stayed in a property with as many insects as this one. It's fair to say that this is not the fault of Coldwell Bankers directly, but that of the condo board and property manager. However, it was very disappointing to be chasing cockroaches down every morning just to make sure they weren't getting into our breakfasts. Note - we complied strictly with the house rules to prevent this to no avail.I would hesitate to stay in this unit again until I hear that these issues have been resolved.
