"the condo was switched from 8b to 7a. as far as i could tell 7a was a much better view. 8b looked at a building from the balcony. 7a looked over the pool. that brings me to the only negative for our stay. the pool was not kept up at all. i realize the condo owner has no control over that, but the pool was gross! i know how pools work, and the green slime on the sides and bottom was there for a long time. other than that i would book with Terry again without hesitation! condo is awesome!!!!"

"the perfect place to stay in the heart of AMI. This hotel has thought of it all, just bring your swim suit, and maybe a soft cooler tucked in your suitcase, they have the rest there ready for you! The beach chairs, umbrella and towels and access to one of the BEST beaches in AMI. Amazing food is all around you, and some of the BEST coffee are beneath this hotel. What more could ask for? Shopping? Oh yeah they have that too! Our room was spotless, the staff was TOP notch and it was not a budget buster. Take an uber from the airport and you will be BEGGING to extend your stay!"

"The room and bathroom were both spacious and clean. Parking was easy since there are assigned spots for each room. Great location and within walking distance to the beach, shopping, dining and the pier. Very quiet area especially when sleeping. Clean pool and grounds were taken care of. The only negatives are the sandy floor of the room and they never emptied the trash, only made one bed which is how we even knew house keeping had been in our room."
