I had a fantastic stay at The Bluff Resort Apartments, with my 3rd floor studio providing stunning views that left me in awe. The apartment was spacious, clean, and so comfortable, but I did wish for some BBQ utensils since we wanted to grill. Overall, I would absolutely return despite a couple of minor downsides.

My recent stay at The Bluff Resort Apartments was quite an experience. The panoramic views from my 3rd-floor studio apartment were amazing, especially as I gazed across the crystal-clear ocean and coastal scenery. However, some guests expressed disappointment when booking habitaciones without views, and that can dampen the experience somewhat.

My stay at The Bluff Resort Apartments was largely positive, with a stunning view and comfortable accommodations. However, the layout of some bedrooms left much to be desired, as they faced a retaining wall and felt quite closed in. Overall, the combination of cleanliness, location, and friendly service made it an enjoyable experience.
Rooms

I was pleasantly surprised by the upgraded view from my room. Despite booking a room with no view, I found myself looking at the water, making it feel more relaxing. However, others mentioned that their rooms felt too enclosed due to the layout, particularly those with bedrooms facing a wall.
