When we checked in I was told by the person at the front desk that the unit we were staying in was new to the rental program and had not been updated. She said that even though the furnishings and carpet looked very stained and dirty that they had been steamed cleaned and were clean. Why would they rent a... more

Most of the posts here are right, the pictures do you no justice. This place is ok at best, you have your standard bedrooms, we had the three bedroom, 3 bath, and it was some what updated, but very minimal, had the washer and dryer, kitchen, but for the place sleeping 10 was pushing it. the pots and pans were... more

The onsite office has great service, the rooms are in good condition and very clean! We had a light go out and they were quick to fix it. i have stayed with other companies and Oaseas Resorts is by far the best!! They are in the process of updating the tennis courts so parking was alittle tight. The property looks... more

On the first day, despite having a very confusing time checking in with Royal American(were not told had to check in down the street) and being charged an additional $75 for cleaning that would occur at the end of the week (despite it saying on their website that there is Free Daily Maid Service) we were blown away by our... more

What a treat. I was hesitant about booking at Watercrest but saw this incredible penthouse on VRBO (www.vrbo.com/92053) and booked for a week in June. The unit was stunning, comparable to anything at En Soleil, Princess, etc., and the cost was competitive. Mark, the owner, was responsive to all our questions and provided references (I still get leary about Internet... more

The pictures of Watercrest are very pretty. The actual condo is run down. They only had 1 elevator running most of the time for 18 floors. The tennis courts need to be re-painted. Also, the front office is never open! The condo itself was dirty, smelled bad, and the tub did not drain properly. The "clean" blankets in the closet... more

While we loved the location of the condo, the overall condition of our room was a disappointment. We went condo instead of hotel rooms for several reasons. Kitchen, washer and dryer, less expensive than two rooms at a hotel...however the dryer didn't work at all, the stove top hardly got hot enough to even cook an egg for breakfast, and... more
