Is there air conditioning in the condo?
It is partially air conditioned. The rear mountain view bedroom has less cross breeze so there is an A/C unit in this bedroom.
The ocean view suite (bedroom/living room/kitchen) does not have air conditioning. The ocean view suite is never “hot”, but we realize that that the definition of hot is open to interpretation.
We are air conditioning people ourselves and when we stay we just open the sliding doors off the lanai and enjoy the ocean breezes. Note that it does get much cooler at night. Often, when you sleep with the lanai doors open, you will get a bit chilly.
Is there a business center?
Yes there is a business center. While our unit has its own WIFI Internet access you can visit the business center and use desktop computers, access the Internet, and print/scan/copy documents.
Is there a fitness center?
Yes we have a fitness center. Newly renovated with all brand new equipment in mid 2017, the fitness center is available for you to keep up with your workouts while you are on vacation.
