BEAUTIFUL VIEW!! ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karrie Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Location location location! This property is spacious and very nice along with being in the perfect condition for restaurants, shopping, and casinos. That being said…. It needs blinds or curtains in the living area, it is located right above busy restaurants with outdoor seating, the ferry, and a sidewalk and everyone can see directly into the condo. Beds are extremely HARD. If you enjoy sleeping with a blanket you need to bring one, it will not be provided, only sheets. ##### Karrie Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Willemstad-Hotels-Renaissance-Curacao-Resort-Casino.h2351342.Hotel-Information) > > [independent Hotels in Evans](https://www.expedia.ca/Evans-Hotels-Independent.0-0-d553248635975848522--bIndependent.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Willemstad-Hotels-Mangrove-Beach-Corendon-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Resort.h40394671.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Mont Ste Marie](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Ste-Marie-Hotels.0-l553248621563221995-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in San Bernardino County](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-San-Bernardino-County-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d6055926-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Ponoka](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponoka-Hotels.d181744.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Dreams Curacao Resort, Spa & Casino - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Willemstad-Hotels-Dreams-Curacao.h39513489.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz Village Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Willemstad-Hotels-The-Ritz-Village-Hotel.h5013176.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Quarters Hotel Wacker at Michigan, Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Club-Quarters-Hotel.h889753.Hotel-Information) > > [Windhoek Country Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Windhoek-Hotels-Windhoek-Country-Club.h527043.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Negara](https://www.expedia.ca/Negara-Hotels.d6049347.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Resorts Walker](https://www.expedia.ca/Walker-Resort-Hotels.d6060109-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Candolim](https://www.expedia.ca/Candolim-Hotels.d6034456.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Dubai (DXB) to Tromsø (TOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dxb/tos/dubai-to-troms) > > [Flights from Cinisi (PMO) to Tremblay-en-France (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pmo/cdg/palermo-to-paris) > > [Flights from Edmonton, AB (YEG-Edmonton Intl.) to Bathurst, NB (ZBF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/zbf/edmonton-to-bathurst) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/ylw/halifax-to-kelowna) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Pebble Beach Golf Links](https://www.expedia.ca/Pebble-Beach-Golf-Links-Pebble-Beach.d6065899.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Golf Le Geant](https://www.expedia.ca/Golf-Le-Geant-Mont-Tremblant.d6155090.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Magdeburg Region](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/beach-vacations/6053262/Magdeburg-Region) > > [Torch Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Torch-Lake-Michigan.d6338717.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Chitral](https://www.expedia.ca/Chitral.dx848)
