Paradise Found!
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Nathalie (owner) you rock! This was our second time vacationing at the Palmas house and again we were not dissapointed. The pictures do not do it justice. It's that perfect and beautiful. There were so many touches that the are provided that make it a perfect vacation home: grills, coolers, beach toys, games, music, toiletries, books, wireless internet, too many to mention. If we had any questions, our answers were just a phone call away, as the owner and property manager were always available. The golf cart is a great plus, since you can literally pull up to the beach access in it.
There were however, some glitches, mostly minor: the heater in the spa was not working so we could not enjoy that ammenity. I hear that the owner plans to restore this sometime this fall. Also, the cable package available on the tv is the bare bones minimum offered by the local company. It only provides mostly Spanish-speaking channels and the American broadcast channels: eg NBC, ABC,CBS, PBS. There is no Nickeleodon, Disney,CNN,USA, ESPN, et. al. I have suggested to the owner that she consider upgrading her package, as having childrens television is a very handy thing to have when there is down time and you have young children along. There is no Blockbuster nearby, although the local Walmart has a Redbox.
All in all, it was another great vacation and we look forward to returning, hopefully next year!
Owner's Response: The house is fully equipped so a family can enjoy a beach vacation without having to worry about the details. The spa is currently not heated. We (owners) are headed there in September for a week to enjoy some rest and relaxation but also to see if we can arrange to have a new heating system installed for the pool and spa. We hope we are able to get installed and ready for our Winter vacationers. At this time only basic cable is available. We have a selection of DVDs for everyone's enjoyment. We also encourage families to bring their own movies, cds and dvds as it is difficult to accomodate everyone's tastes.
