Stayed in E104. It's clean but the property is old overall with dark corners to turn as you walk the grounds to get from this Standard Room unit to dining/bar and beach. Window and balcony view is of the street entrance. Jamaica traffic, fast cars, loud honking trucks, zooming motorbikes whizzing by. The balcony is spacious but who wants to sit at a beach condo and watch the front entrance, guard hut, and street? You can hear the guard chatting with passerby's constantly (Jamaicans are very social people). There are no electric outlets in bathroom for hair dryer or flat iron or WaterPik. Just my opinion but this unit is not worth more than about $60 per day. The front door is flimsy and unsecured. Looks like it was kicked in at one point or maybe the wood is warped. The front door is on a slant so bottom of the door protrudes inward and has a gap between it and the door frame-lets in mosquitos. The door handle is a kitchen cabinet handle on the inside and on the outside. The door has no weight, and the lock barely latches. It feels VERY unsafe! No instructions provided on how to use the safe. There was no iron and ironing board which was advertised, and there were a few wire hangers in closet. There is a working mini fridge/freezer but no microwave! No cups, coffee maker, nothing. Room had decent television with cable. The restaurant menu is limited and there is no opportunity for fresh fruits and vegetables of the island to enjoy and not many fish options. Bottled water is scarce. Unit has no phone and so you must call front desk/office from your own phone or walk to front desk. Each condo is individually owned so changing to a different unit is impossible. No info provided in the room about Wifi access/password which was EXTREMELY NECESSARY for me. I took a working getaway. I spent hours trying to find someone that had the correct Wifi password. The front desk comes in at their leisure (so not before 10 am at least! Different units have different passwords and service. The room A/C unit is decent and ceiling fan. There are NO beach towels. Also there are only sheets on the bed (just the set-fitted and flat)-the pillows are old and not firm. I get cold when sleeping so a cotton blanket would have been helpful. A checklist of all a person needs to bring should be provided. The beach is quiet-low key. I would try a condo with an actual kitchen and nice ocean view if I ever stay at this property again. Finding the different owners is like finding a needle in a haystack and the front desk is not very forthcoming with info.
