The condo is nicely updated and the bed is comfortable. The patio has a pretty view of the beach, yet well-shaded throughout the day; there is no direct Sun on you. You can hear the sounds of the calming surf in the morning and evenings. Unfortunately, you cannot hear the surf in the afternoon when guests at the pool are blaring their personal music and yelling the lyrics. Staff did tell them to turn it down, but a different set of folks did the same thing the next day. The pool rules mention No Loud Noise, but it is not enforced. The condos are a good location, so I suggest staying at the beach during the day when the noisy pool guests are there. The good news is that you cannot hear the revelry indoors. The glass is soundproof! Overall, I recommend the condo and The Sandcastle.
