Gav10 Modern Pool Side Condo in Quiet Area of Tam

Love the location. Beautifully updated.

Not microwave.

The modern design and huge balcony were a plus. It’s also located within walking distance of the beaches, restaurants and bars. Howler monkeys hang out in the trees on this property, you can see them every day.

The road directly outside of the property is not paved

The property was very clean and functional, the people were friendly, it was quiet, and our apartment by the pool was fantastic.

There was a lot to like about this property but a few things held us back from giving it top marks: -They did not use Booking.com’s payment system, which most of us much prefer because of its ease of use and low risk, and used a 3rd party system instead. While this is not unusual for some properties listed on Booking, it is always a bummer because of increased risk to clients. It is essentially a transfer of risk to clients. I hold Booking accountable for charging owners too much and for not allowing clients to easily filter out such properties from property searches. No lost points to the property for this. But Booking, you can do way better. -BUT, the property’s 3rd party payment system sucked. I’ve used these several times before and they worked but it totally failed here. In the end, I had to use a convoluted approach to transfer the money upfront. To their credit, the property owners were friendly throughout that week-long ordeal. -The property location is not so bad if you like to walk. I rented a golf cart and it wasn’t all that necessary in the end. BUT, one of the roads from the property is quite dusty and dirty at times.

Apartment has everything

No one does maintenance to the pool. I had constantly clean the debris and bugs that fall into it, all day. And a raccoon pooped inside the pool and the hotel didn’t even notice because no one is there to watch the pool. The pooped stayed in the pool until it spread.
