Villa Renaissance

Dates: 10/30/2024 - 11/09/2024 PERFECT LOCATION. Close to many restaurants and shopping. The beach and access was fabulous. We were in Villa 402 - Building Two, 4th floor ‘penthouse’. We just needed a 1 bedroom and that’s what we paid for but they left the 2nd bedroom open for us. The condo was very spacious and clean. There was a half bath, plus the master bath with dual sinks, tub and large steam shower (and the 2nd bedroom had an ensuite as well, with shower and single sink that we didn’t use). The unit had a small, stackable washer/dryer which, face it no one wants to do laundry on vacation, but it is so handy to have. Full, well stocked kitchen. Coffee maker was a drip coffee maker (for those of you needing to know if you what kind of coffee to bring). Fridge had in-door water/ice maker which was great!! Been to some with no ice maker so this was a pleasant surprise. Hair dryer ladies… it was meh. Typical of a hotel. It did the job but took a while. I’m not super picky and usually just pony-tail it anyway but I’ve read some posts where people have asked. If you are particular, then you might want to bring your own. Bed was great, could have used 2 more pillows but otherwise no complaints. Ceiling fans and a floor fan was provided. Ample closet space and while they were a hodge-podge mix, there were lots of hangers in the master, I didn't even think to look in the second bedroom. Ironing board and iron, also provided, but not used. :-) Plenty of towels provided. Plenty of outlets in bedroom, baths and living space. Large balcony, two complaints – first, no loungers, although it did have a small couch and a larger chair with foot stool; second, it wasn’t ‘covered’ – it had a pergola style roof which afforded some shade but if it rained then you couldn’t sit out there, which we LOVE to do. Otherwise, it was great and had expansive views of the ocean. I do wish that more hooks or towel rods were provided in the bathroom - ANY resort at the beach. You come in with wet suits and no where to hang them except along the tub. Same with towels, not enough places to hang them after use. There is no restaurant on site but there is a poolside bar associated with Blu Bar and Grill (about 25 yards from VR) that serve great drinks, the margarita was pretty potent. They did serve some food but got it from Blu – you ordered at the bar and then they got it from Blu. They also did a beach service but honestly, if the lady was at the beach getting or delivering orders then she wasn’t at the bar. Or if she had to go get supplies or food orders from Blu – no one was at the bar. So service was a bit spotty – but the drinks were great!

WONDERFUL! This place is so beautiful. The beach is super clean, water is amazing! Cant get much better. Will definitely come back again. Our unit was beautiful and clean, walked right out to the beach from it. Special thanks to bartender Araceli- she was amazing and so special with us! Unit has everything you need!

Always perfect! Chantelle and bev are awesome! Been visiting for since 2006 and cannot get enough. Allied Management is in the ball and super courteous! VR is convenient to all town and restaurants and super market, it is safe and beautiful.
