Escala Vacation Rentals

“The room itself was beautiful, clean, well-furnished, and had a gorgeous bay view. Only issue was Caribe’s property management/room service. All of the towels were unfolded in dryer when we arrived. The room keys we were given did not work and they made us walk back to another building to get room keys that worked. It seems that the property is mostly staffed by high school/college age kids.”

“The pictures don’t do it justice. We will be back.”

“Wonderful stay. We brought a boat. Easy access, easy docking and wonderful views. Great place!”

“First this was the dirtiest Airbnb I have ever stayed in. The floors of the entire place were so stocked and dirty, every cabinet and drawer was nasty. One of the beds didn’t even have sheets on the bed and was so bad stained no telling what was in it. This place needs a deep clean and some re work done to it to get it up to the standard it should be at to be hosting. Also the TV in the living room was going out so that needs to be replaced. The location was awesome close to a lot so you don’t have to drive unless you want to. The main pool was great the kids loved it. The walk to the beach was just as described and took about 5 mins to get there once you got to the floor level. We informed the host about all the issues and they were able to send a cleaning lady the next day after we checked in to clean and I know why this place is as dirty as it is by the way they “clean” things we had to have her redo things till it was clean. Would write more but it will only allow me towritesomuch.”

“We ABSOLUTELY loved the condo. My 3 year old granddaughter lived at the splash pad. The ocean was an easy walk across the street. I will hopefully get to return”

“Our place was nice and convenient to almost everything we wanted to do.I agree that the elevators are a downfall .The room had areas that were not cleaned like under the bed, sofa bed, chairs and kitchen drawers, but all in all a very nice place and very nice host.”

“AC was broken when we were three hours out from our original room. Host gave us a different unit. Wristbands didn’t work and that’s a huge aggravation bc you need the bands for everything & wasted time getting this fixed. Rooms are very spacious and close to beach so location is amazing. The Cabinets/drawers/dishes need a very deep cleaning. The beds are cot/platform beds so be aware. The washer and dryer worked amazing and there was nice beach chairs in the closet to use. As far as the actual resort (not our host) The pools were freezing and not heated as described by the actual resort. The trash chute is hard to find as well.”

“Whomever cleans this unit don’t need to be cleaning condos I shouldn’t have to clean when I get there condo stayed hot even when we kept the doors shut”

“The condo was spacious. The view was spectacular and the location was spot on. The kitchen was equipped well too. What we disliked most was the worn mattresses, old furniture, and the old dingy and unmatched towels and linen. It needs a major upgrade. It would be a suitable place if it wasn’t for the negative things we had to endure. I would stay there again if I am assured there will be an upgrade top to bottom.”

“Nobody in our party typically leaves negative Airbnb reviews. I use Airbnb often and understand that issues can happen. That said, this stay was disappointing enough that I feel it’s important to share. We arrived to find the unit had not been properly cleaned. The floors were sandy and sticky, the microwave was covered in food, and there was sand in both beds. The TV remotes were sticky and didn’t work, and we couldn’t access streaming platforms as advertised. The unit felt very shabby. Furniture was worn, bathtubs were yellowing with mold-like stains, and walking barefoot left our feet dirty. The resort itself was negligent at best. The elevators didn't work, gym was closed, hot tub closed, and no staff present. It appears to cater to spring break crowds, with heavy police presence, restricted access points, constant traffic stops, and noise.”
