This was the 1st time for us at Plaza Mar and we where awed by the beauty of the condo complex. Check in was smooth and the secured lobby entrance was a big bonus. We used the computers in the lobby which saved us the hassle of bringing a laptop. After all we where on vacation however email access was important. The cleanliness and attention to detail is evident.
Once in our condo, we where extremely pleased with the lockable steel gate. It added a sense of security but provided a practical to allow airflow for some units requiring it. Our unit was fine just with ceiling fans and A/C was never required. The king size bed was soft as compared to hard mattress types commonly found in other places we have stayed at. No problems sleeping and the room was super quite with no traffic or ocean sounds at night. Bathroom had a sit down bench. Counter space was large and a pleasant surprise. Shelving in the bathroom kept all our items organized and nothing ever was cluttered.
Kitchen was stocked with top appliances and we used the microwave, toaster, blender, and especially the coffee maker. Dishes and pots and pans where top quality. The gorgeous granite counters where easy to keep clean. The condo had a selection of books that where a plus as we watch very little TV when on vacation. We brought our MP3 player and speakers as we usually do. The balcony is where we spent the majority of our time. We loved people watching and the great view of the square and ocean. I would suggest replacing the yellow table cover with a newer one.
The dining room table and chairs where solid however once again we ate, drank, and sat on the balcony.
The art work in the condo showed special touches and care in selection. All of it was tastefully decorated. The French doors to the deck where finished in a quality finish.
Everything worked in this condo with no problems. Meaning that the toilet would always flush, the shower would drain, the water was always available, and the gas stove worked along with the fridge. This was a bonus because in other places we have stayed, you do not get it all happening perfectly.
The pool on the top roof was refreshing and perfect for a quick dip to cool off. The view featured gorgeous sunsets at night and a panoramic sight of the south side.
Maid service was the best we have ever had anywhere. The young lady even scrubbed the shower walls. She was very friendly but thorough. We made sure we tipped her well every time her services where used and then a bigger bonus on our last day. The other lady that keeps the courtyard looking great was tipped well. There is no dust inside the condo or outside and these ladies made it all happen.
We where extremely satisfied with you and your unit Jeff. The process of acquiring it and having an airport pickup for us made this a relaxing, stress free romantic getaway.
