Anyone stay at this resort? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

We’ve stayed there many times as we are owners (our only timeshare). The last tens years we have used our WIVC week there or banked it with DAElive. Last January, we were unable to book a week in 2022 so we banked week. We hope to return again in Jan 2023.

Only 7 units; 4 two-bedroom units (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor) and 3 one-bedroom unit as office and lobby are on 1st floor which is about 15 steps above street/pool. Right on beach with pool between building and sand. They added small elevator a couple of years ago by extending balcony from living room in one-bedroom units and I assume the same in two-bedroom unit. We didn’t mind the stairs as we usually eat and drink enough that we need the exercise, but it’s nice when you are moving in. Units are not fancy or huge, but have well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Bathroom in one bedroom is small. Decent free Wi-Fi and OK, but somewhat limited TV and no TV in bedroom of one-bedroom. Good security including free safe in bathroom and staff including maids who cleaned every day but Sunday.

We really like the location and view. Many restaurants and a large supermarket are within a few blocks. It’s about five blocks to beginning of Malecon and another mile or so from there to the Romantic Zone. Clean beach below building is often busy with locals. Captain Jack’s is a bar/restaurant popular with Americans and Canadians 1/2 block away. They sometimes have live music which can get loud, but it’s not every night and not that late.

Feel free to ask any questions. Trees block some of view from 2nd floor unit.

Do they have lounge chairs in pool area?

Sorry for the very long delay in replying, but they do have plenty of lounge chairs in pool area and there is also a bathroom and outside shower on pool level. Somehow my photos from last trip there, where my wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary, which was pre-Covid, were not in folder where I expected them to be even though some of them were posted to Facebook. We are returning in Jan 2023, but could not get our anniversary week so we are going the week after.

The lounge chairs are on the opposite side of pool from beach, and barbeques are to the right. Picture was taken on very busy Sunday at 1:20 PM.
