Summary: Our suite was very nice and well set up and clean.We had a minor issue one day and Susan accomadated us as soon as she could. We were very pleased and understand that things happen occasionally. We met very nice people at El Farro during our stay, and they were all very informative and sent us in the right direction one day when we were looking to watch the football game one afternoon, where they also served amazing pub grub. Many fabulous 5 star restaurants in the area, as well as a great martini bar a block away. Walmart is only a 10 min walk to pick up groceries and beer and wine.Walking distance to everything you may require, and all the action on 5th ave a block away. If you’re a golfer we played a couple rounds at a very nice golf course in Playacar at Hard Rock Golf course, maybe 15 min taxi ride. The course was in great condition and the rental clubs were like brand new. Food and beverages included in the price. I would recommend Sandy’s unit 101 Reef at El Farro. It is on the beach and is great for people watching. If you want a quieter unit off the beach buzz, I would also recommend Sandy’s place at 103 Coral that we stayed in briefly. Another beautiful unit with an amazing view of the pool and ocean. Thanks Sandy for everything Candas from Canada
