The condo worked very well for a winter-time escape to the tropical warmth; the unit’s layout was great for cooking, dining, and relaxing; its kitchen appliances are modern and seem to be quite new in a convenient layout. The property has a terrific crew of on-site private security to ensure the safety of all its residents, staffed 24/7. The buildings are well located right at Bavaro Beach with its many on-site / nearby attractions and water-oriented tours, as well as a nice little café right at the beach. Also, there are many small shops and restaurants in the surrounding streets, including supermarkets, pharmacies, and gift/souvenir shops – and a nice cigar specialty shop directly across the street from the facility entrance.
Further from the condo facility, but within a few-minutes’ drive are even more restaurants (try “Jellyfish”) and shopping (Downtown Mall w/ the “Jumbo” mega department store). And just a little further is the “Supermercado Olé”, similar to Jumbo but with some variety in goods for sale. A little further will get you to the “Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park”, offering a serene path and a few pools for swimming – great for a half-day nature stroll.
All-in-all, this is a great condo for a tropical vacation – comfortable and convenient. By the way, I rented a car but didn’t really need it – airport transfers would have got me to the condo and back to the airport. Many activities are available right at the facility and all the tour operators all offer free pick-up and return. I’ll save that expense next time at this excellent condo, which I hope will be soon!
