We lived the dream for 2 nights. Fabulous huge upstairs 1 bedroom apartment, views over the waterways from lounge/dining/kitchen/ & master bedroom. Awesome pool and spa, gym and the apartment was incredibly well equipped, everything you could possible need. Fantastic Managers Andrea and Shane could not have been more helpful. We had brought our boat with us and nothing was a problem. We so appreciated how they went out of their way for us. A real bday treat! If you can, stay here, you wont want to leave!

Now this is the way to go if you go traveling! The accommodation oozes luxury & relaxation, with stunning views in the morning when you have your morning coffee. It is self-catering, but is definitely worth your while. The finishing speaks of quality & the comfort of the beds is something to die for. The staff is very friendly & helpful. They were most accommodating of our traveling party & made the entire check-in experience an absolute breeze.

Won’t be going back (twice now) Management not doing a great job, dishwasher full of stinky dishes, hospitality lacking, having to remove rubbish & recycling is not a guests responsibility and to be threatened with fines for not doing so is mean spirited and not hospitable , tired apartments, beds need an upgrade esp for the $$ great location but that’s about the only positive Lady was lovely to take photo of our group😉

TRS Coral was a great vacation. Had a bit of rain for a day, but oh well. We upgraded to a loft, and our butlers José, Edwin, and Misael took great care of us. They made it super easy to book the restaurants we wanted. La Boheme was superb (high 5 to our server Jorge Zanetti!). Capricious was a great buffet option, and Josue took good care of us. BTW-you must book the CHIC Cabaret. Excellent evening of entertainment and food. This was our 2nd visit to this resort.

The apartment was amazing, it got better when you saw the view from the balcony.wr had a full sized kitchen included dishwasher and washing machine, also had a BBQ. Pool was lovely with a big spa. Short drive to a lovely beach and bars. It's a town we could retire too,.

We have stayed here on holiday from Australia several times in recent years and have always enjoyed the facilities and the warm welcome. This time was VERY different. We arrived at a quarter to two on a Saturday afternoon after a long drive and were pleased to see the “we are open” sign on the office, so went straight in ( the door was open). No-one was at the desk, so I called out “hello?” and after a minute an aggressive older man came from out the back, saying rudely “It’s not 2 pm yet! We are not open! We have just finished cleaning and we are trying to have our lunch”. I said I would go back and sit in my car for 15 minutes, and left. I was quite nonplussed at this treatment. I returned at 2pm. The man was clearly still hostile. I told him that we had been coming to SPOTW for years and had never experienced such rudeness. I suggested that he should have welcomed me politely, explained that they would be ready in 15 minutes, and asked me if I’d mind waiting. I also recommended that he undertake some customer service training. He then questioned my booking and suggested I wasn’t booked in and that he would turn me away!? He then magically found our booking and processed my payment. I indicated that I would be describing his behaviour in a TripAdvisor review. He boasted that he’d been “threatened” with TripAdvisor reviews before. I asked if he was new. He said yes, they were from Australia (how embarrassing to me as an Aussie!) and they made a successful business by purchasing and doing up properties and selling them for a profit. I found the whole experience distressing, and wonder how such a lovely property could be fronted by such an unpleasant manager. As a result of this experience, this will regrettably be our last visit to SPOTW.

Wow wow wow . Is what I can say. This apartment blew us away. It overlooked the waterways, the whole apartment was huge and so modern and clean. It also had its own garage with electric garage door. It had a full size kitchen with a full size fridge. It also has a fir place and comfortable beds with electric blankets if it gets cold. The decor was beautifully set out. It also has a pool.
