"14 people on our staff went on a retreat to celebrate our collective success and relax and recharge. We do that annually and this was the best trip yet. The staff were all exceptional. Logistics and transportation were handled exceptionally. Alcohol service and food quality and delivery were exactly what we hoped for and the view is just perfect. The place was very clean and security was visible but unobtrusive. We could not have been more pleased and will highly likely do the exact same trip again...but don't tell my staff that just yet!"

"Very spacious, tranquile and secured area. Very neat apartment. Just need to place more efficient and stronger A/C's in all rooms and dark curtains in the windows for each bedroom. And add more small towers in the kitchen to dry and clean surfaces, mop on each bathroom. The parking needs to be restrucrured for two car each side. The rest is very good."
