We spent a month at the condo in Marbella and had a wonderful time. The few minor issues that we had were readily addressed by Bernie and everything was just as had been advertised. Bernie was very accessible when we needed to speak to him. Our biggest problem was not speaking Spanish, which made it difficult to communicate at times when speaking with workers at the resort or out in the community. Richard, who has the Calmado Blu and the car rental across the street was very helpful. He rented us cars for a reasonable price, arranged for several excursions, and spoke English which made it much easier to arrange for the things that we wanted. Overall, it was a great experience and we will be back when our calendar allows it.

I think the property was great, but some kitchen equipment should be changed, like smaller new pans for boiling tings. A more modern washing machine would also be fine. Maby install a dishwasher as well ? Anyhow, we would love to stay at this place again, the pool area are amazing. Thank you Bernie and Sylvester.

Just finished a 2 night stay and this property is well appointed. We have stayed at Marbella property before and love it because the 2 pools are never overly crowded and there are always plenty of beach chairs on the beach - all right out the back door. Another added benefit is the porches overlooking the turquoise blue water of the Caribbean. This particular unit was perfect for our family with 2 bedrooms, but offering 2 queen sized beds in the second bedroom. With our kids being teenagers, they appreciated not having to share a bed or climb into bunkbeds. Bathrooms were well kept, water pressure was strong (with being on the 5th floor we wondered if this would be the case). The kitchen was well appointed - the only thing I would suggest to the owner is to purchase small knife block, as this would have been helpful for the cooking that we were doing. The porch had a table for 6 to eat at, as well as seating for 5 comfortably to just sit and chat, enjoying the view. There is a small "market" (Colmado Blu) that is right across the street and will deliver to the unit - we speak Spanish, so this was an extra benefit. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance - we especially liked our dinner at El Mesón just about .5 mile walk away. While many of these units rent for over usd 200, this unit is WELL WORTH the price and the instant booking and quick communication with both the owner and the property manager was appreciated. The next time we come to Juan Dolio, we will come back here for sure. Thank you for providing our family with the quick vacation we needed!

Amazing view, big apartment. Showers fixtures should be replace. I had agreed with the property manager to deduct electric bill from the deposit which he did, owner posted a review saying we didn’t pay for electricity.
