Aldea Thai Luxury Condohotel

When we arrived they had given our room to another guest. I made my reservation directly through aldea Thai website. The manager put is in an Airbnb for 2 days. Then, he moved us to another Airbnb. He refused to change our towels. We had to used them for 4 days straight before they brought us clean ones. I requested to have the room cleaned and he said that they were too busy but he was going to leave a broom in the room for me to sweep. The concierge couldn’t help us because we were not registered. All my communication had to be with Gerardo, the Airbnb manager. He also requested that I pay my balance cash. He wouldn’t accept credit card. I’m assuming that the owners of both Airbnb’s never found out that we were in the condos. Those room always showed as empty. Geraldo probably pocket the money for himself. I wish there was a way to let the owners know of what he is doing. Also, aldea Thai owners don’t know what he is doing with their customers. It was so stressful for us to be moved from one room to another. And one day we lost all morning waiting on him to tell us where to go. Bad bad bad experience!

The condo was very nice at first glance but upon closer inspection it was dated and many things were broken and/or didn’t even work including the main living room TV. The bathroom doors did not lock. The most frustrating part was the spotty WiFi that constantly dropped. The main pool had a very green hue which was very alarming and the swim up bar was closed 5 of the 7 days we stayed. This condo resort has seen better days. If you’re using it just for a place to stay so you can venture out and explore this place gets the job done. It’s located steps away from the beach and shops. Other than that I’m sure there’s better options out there. Keep in mind each “condo” is owned by a private party that rents it out through trip sites and or Airbnb etc. so each rooms upkeep is determined by the private party. We stayed in 134 & 134A.

We just got back from staying at this resort. Everything looked good on paper but we did experience lack of water three times during our nine day stay. The resort is a little more aged than the pictures depict. The pool is wonderful and resort is located very close to beach and short walk to Fifth Avenue.
