Reviewer Comments:
I would say it was a good trip. The property overall wasn’t in the worst condition. But they do have a problem with all the pigeons everywhere. Lots of bird poop on everything which is gross. We would overhear other guests talking about the pigeons.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay here. We usually stay at the sister complex Aruba Bay, but due to no availability, we booked here. We love the location. It was clean and while the AC was a tad noisy, it wasn't anything different than a hotel. Our only recommendation is updating the living room furniture to be able to accommodate more than just two people. We used our white noise app and all was fine.

Reviewer Comments:
We’ve stayed multiple times- but a different unit each time. This one isn’t worth he back ache with the older mattress. The ac unit in the living room has a hum that doesn’t stop. The sofa needs a clean as well. Seems to have sand in the fabric.
