Had an amazing stay. The condo was beautiful; amenities plenty. Walking distance from grocery, drug store, restaurants. We were next door to the pool where the staff is lovely. Any questions we had were met with immediate responses. It’s our second stay at Vista Cay; our first stay with Casiola. We will DEFINITELY book with Casiola again.

Soon as you enter the door, it hits you, strong then you get used to it. It needs to be fixed.

Terrible experience. When I arrived the code to get into the unit did not work and had to sit outside the room trying multiple different codes for none of them to work until a half hour later they finally got me a code that worked. When we eventually got inside the TV in the living room was stuck on a “please wait” screen and did not work the entire trip. TV in the bedroom was the size of pack of gum and had a fuzzy screen. On top of that there were stains on the sheets in the bed. Considering we were only staying here to sleep as we were in town for a convention I tried to look past these issues, that was until my stay was over and I was hit with a charge for a “damaged microwave” that I never used or touched! Complete SCAM, and honestly ridiculous I will never stay here again.

I was happy w the property the only thing the shower in the master bath was not cleaned properly. Also on the day of check out the next guest knocked on the door @ 9:30am asking about the check-in process!! That through me off because you guys stressed on numerous emails check-in was @ 4pm and not a minute before..Other than these 2 things I had a wonderful time on the property also the location was close to everything..

We could not get checked in on time, and had to call the representatives fifteen times to get our room location and entrance code. When calling in, we were not allowed to speak to someone directly related to the property. We were only able to speak to an answering service who was not knowledgeable of check-in procedures. This was very frustrating. My four kids and I were left to sit in our vehicle until we were able to get room details.

We have stayed at the Cardiff Castle many times over the last ten years and have enjoyed every stay. We love the location with its amenities, security and high maintenance standards. There are a few issues that we feel deserve some attention. - Kitchen utensils require update. Frying pan warped and unusable. Cutting knives dull. Lack of sufficient dish towels; only one provided. - King bed had no mattress cover. - Twin bed mattresses to high for comfort and safety; top was close to three feet above floor. - Patio door very difficult to open and close.

Very spacious, I really liked having a full kitchen and washer and dryer. The AC is limited to no less than 70, I like to sleep in the cold so lower would have been nice. I saw several units while I was there, a couple of them had really bad mold smells. The one I ended up staying in was OK. They are all seemed to need a little paint and carpet cleaning, but these are likely filled with families that don't care for them as they would their own home.

Very good. This was our 6th stay at Vista Cay and the 4th in the Cardiff Castle. The upgrades to the unit in the past year was a major improvement. The only suggestion we can make is to replace the mattress in the master bedroom. It is very uncomfortable, hard and lumpy. The condo was exceptionally clean and overall, our experience was good.

The unit was decent and clean. There is a lot of wear showing, carpet in master is worn and the vanity in the master bath has a lot of water damage and is peeling. The master bed was horribly uncomfortable, hard and lumpy. The unit kitchen was nice and well-equipped. The location was perfect! Very close to the pool and clubhouse.

Our eight-night stay at Vacation Home Casiola was perfect . It is a very nice, comfortable place . The apartments are furnished and are very spacious . The location is perfect , within walking distance of major attractions of Universal Studios. Excellent cleaning and also very pleasant surroundings, with a beautiful park and a very comfortable pool. Congratulations to those responsible for Casiola and thank you very much for services

This was nuts, onde day there was a security guy banging on the door until the handle screws fell off because he thought the heard a loud noise! We were asleep! The day of the check out some type of rude manager tried to evict us because we were late, but we had late check out. She later confirmed and could not even apologize. This is a ****** place in terms of service.
