Quiet PH 7 Minute Walk to White Sand Beach & Turquoise Colored Ocean

ELLEN AND ANNY - The Agency
I want to give a rave review for Ellen and Anny as the rental agents. Ellen was excellent at being responsive to our emails. Anny met us at the unit and went through everything we needed to know. Any questions we emailed her with were returned quickly and she was amazingly helpful! She even got us coffee filters, which you might want to bring, as we could not find any in the stores. I give them 5 stars and would rent from them again!

The Complex
The complex is clean, well maintained, and safe. The security (especially Francis) would greet you with a smile and was available to help with carrying luggage, water, etc up the three flights. It is at least a 10 minute walk to the beach, the street is littered with garbage and I wouldn't want to walk it alone or at night. We did once, but I am a fraidy cat, and was nervous as there are no lights. There is construction next door and it is quite noisy with a loud gate, dog fights at night and construction workers. We didn't want to close the windows at night, but were forced to some nights. The pool and grounds were lovely, yet only two chair for 18 units.

THe UNIT
The unit is shabby, not well maintained or stocked. The two pans were barely usable and the one handle was so wobbly we wish we had a screwdriver to fix it. We had to buy bowls for cereal. It is clear that there has been no money invested in this unit, the couch was stained and chewed up by termites. Although, the unit was very clean and had no "dirty" bugs. Ants are anywhere you go, so that was not upsetting. The bed was very very firm and the linens and towels poor. There were no wash clothes. They did not even have salt and pepper. They did have a bottle of water waiting for us which was very appreciated. The second BR had twins that can not be put together, so not suitable for a couple.

CONCLUSION:
We are going back to this area but will find a unit that has beach front becaus if you don't, you can only sit in restaurant beach chairs, and only if you order something. We felt like orphans on the beach. Ellen has units in a beach side facility, which, although more expensive, we feel well worth the extra money. Yet, if you are on a budget, don't mind walking, aren't expecting luxury, bring a washcloth, salt, and pepper, and don't mind some noise.... This is a nice complex for the dollar.
