More Insights

Built in 1996 (29 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1996, making it 28 years old. While the extensive resort facilities appear to be maintained and functional, the visible interior elements, specifically the kitchen (Image 10), are clearly outdated. The kitchen features white appliances, raised-panel white cabinets, and a tiled backsplash, all consistent with styles from the 90s or early 2000s. There is no indication of a recent extensive renovation to update these areas to modern standards. The property is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
