Exceeded My Expectations

We were thrilled with our beautiful apartment and every experience from securing the rental, being picked up at the airport, and taken back. It exceeded my expectations for a few reasons. One, the place is beautifully photographed on the site where we found it, so you always expect reality to not live up to the apartment. However this apartment is even more lovely in reality than it is in the photos--we couldn't believe that the enormous veranda was just for us.
One of the things I really liked was that they got the finishing touches right that make an extended stay so nice--there are large towels and plenty of them. The bottled water provided upon arrival. The easy-access and fast internet connection. The soft lighting and the way the lighting switches are labeled--we noticed all these details and appreciated them all. The bedding was also very comfortable and we found the apartment to be exquisitely decorated and absolutely spotless. We were so comfortable and relaxed here.
Also, the apartment manager was a great help all the way through the process. He was immediately responsive during the booking process and was available to us when we had questions during our stay. He arranged a car rental for us at a very reasonable price. We felt incredibly spoiled. Everyone was so quick and eager to help us and to meet our every need. The cleaning lady and the pool service young men were also unintrusive and always on time.
While some people might find the distance from the beach a detractor, we actually loved it. We loved spending the afternoon at the beach, going out for dinner, then coming home to our sanctuary and our private pool. We loved how totally silent it was at night.
This was one of the most enjoyable vacations we have ever had.
