Enjoyed the sun
This is our first time staying in a condo in PCB so it was a little bit of shock at first with so many units. With that being said, it was actually a very nice condo and property. We thought it would be a lot more crowded but it wasn't bad at all and very enjoyable. I had 4 teenagers with me and they had a great time. The condo is very nice and comfortable. The pots and pans could use a refresh and add some storage container/ bowls would be very helpful. The resort is big but well staffed with very friendly personnel walking around if you need help with anything. The pool is great and there is always, except High noon, an area that has some shade. There is a tiki-bar for drinks around the pool or take them on the beach. There is also a tiki-hut that you can order food for the kids or sandwiches for the adults. Very basic menu. Now the parking...The parking garage is great but it is not easy finding your assigned spot. 1523 has 1 assigned parking spot but you are allowed 2 vehicles. Assigned/reserved spot is on the 8th floor... Remember that because we had to find it and there is ZERO rhyme or reason to the spots and their numbering on the garage. There are spots with a yellow painting and no numbers on them. Those are for anyone. Super Walmart across the street and Walmart liquor store as well that you can walk to. Pineapple Willy's is right next door and it is busy so plan accordingly. Overall great location and the condo was very nice.- Reviewed On: 6/8/2022
