Hi Sandra, thank you for your feedback on your stay at this fabulous condo. We're pleased to hear you found the location excellent and well equipped for your stay. Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!
We had 4 adults and loved the location and the condo. Such a beautiful view! We were able to see dolphins from our balcony! We loved everything about our stay here!!
Overall loved the condo and the facilities, the beach was great and the feel was very family friendly. We did have a couple of minor issues but management took care of them eventually and the stay was relaxing and peaceful. Love that the building was non-smoking too. One note, the parking space is very small and tight. Overall a great trip!

We loved Ocean Reef and the condo was was great. The only complaint is that the elevators were slow and sometimes not working. One of the elevators was out of order the whole time we were there. Overall, had a great time in a beautiful location!
