Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
We unfortunately had a disappointing experience at El Constante this time.The primary issue is that the listing is misleading. The VRBO photos show a balcony with a clear ocean-facing view, which was the main reason we chose this unit over another available (and more updated) option in the same complex. In reality, the balcony faces away from the sea and the view is obstructed, which did not match what was advertised. We raised this with the property manager during our stay and shared photos, but were told the listing was “correct.”In addition, the internet was down throughout our entire stay, which meant we were unable to use the TVs or any connected services.The unit itself lacked some basic finishing touches and upkeep. There was only one beside table - on one side in the main bedroom - and no table lamps, and several kitchen items (plates, glasses, and cutlery) felt sticky and appeared not to have been properly cleaned or used in some time. While the fridge worked well and the oven —though quite old — was functional, the overall condition did not reflect the price.We again followed up with the property manager after our stay regarding the misleading listing and have not received a meaningful response beyond being told they are “looking into it.”It’s worth noting that El Constante is a great complex and we have stayed in other units here before with much better experiences. For a similar price, there are significantly nicer and more updated units available

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this stay did not meet your expectations, especially since you’ve enjoyed other visits to El Constante. Regarding the photo you mentioned, that image is taken from the upstairs balcony view, which is why the perspective can look different from other areas of the unit. We always aim to represent the property as accurately as possible and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We also apologize for the internet outage during your stay. Connectivity issues can occasionally occur, and we understand how frustrating that can be when trying to relax and use the TVs or other services. Your comments about the unit’s condition and potential upgrades are appreciated as well. Guest feedback like this is important, and we will be sharing your thoughts with our team as we continue to evaluate improvements to the property. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a future visit.

Great stay with a minor inconvenience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The stay was very good. The accommodation was comfortable, with furniture in excellent condition, a convenient location, and a very nice pool. During our visit, we experienced a few power outages—the electricity went out three times. I understand this is something beyond the host’s control, but unfortunately, it happened during our stay. Other than that, everything was great, and I would definitely consider coming back in the future.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: FROM (0-10) - I would rate a 6.5**The ceiling fans could use an adjustment on speed control - not very much air was circulating on the second floor rooms.**If AC is to be controlled, maybe allow up to 65 degrees***TV in living area was impossible to control or even work the television aspect, only music station played.

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just the right size for our family of 5. Absolutely love that there's a washer and dryer unit in the condo itself. Had the essentials needed in order to cook home meals, etc. Four stars for property cleanness because we found a few hairs from previous vacationers, but it really doesn't bother our family or put us off. We absolutely loved how close we were to the beach. The foot rinse-off station outside of the property came in handy, but would've loved to have a complete head-to-toe rinse-off station once you get inside of the gate (right by the pool restroom) to be able to rinse off completely of sand before getting into the pool or walking back into the condo. The head-to-toe rinse-off station is the only recommendation that we have.
