We know the area very well and drove by the mall every day but never met anybody who actually stayed there. Any info is appreciated! "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt"

I have no personal firsthand information on staying there but truthfully, I would feel too very isolated being one of so very few rented places. It would feel too creepy for me.

I would not walk around the area after dark, but there is parking right in front, as well as beneath the building. It is very close to Porto Cupecoy, with a grocery store, ATM, and several nice restaurants, and across the street from the beaches at Cupecoy. The units I've seen are spacious and lovely. Hope this helps.

It’s a mess outside and could easily be picked up and made nicer. Right now it’s a multi million dollar nightmare. IMO.

And we will have an underground parking stalls. "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt"

It’s a jungle mess in front with weeds, trees and bushes that haven’t been trimmed in years it looks like. A big property like that it’s just ridiculous the owner does have eye balls or care enough to do just basic maintenance. I can imagine how looks inside. Again huge investment not be taken care of. Why would anyone want to stay in that mess. Last edited by foreversxm; 09/19/2022 03:24 PM.

You will want for nothing, beautiful pool too! Gated!! I would look at this for an option!!! Contact Tracy Mascarin for bookings and rates!! 12 years and counting!!
