We stayed in a penthouse apt overlooking what I think was the 16th hole, (par 3 with lake to right of tee box and corresponding hole on other side of water) in Nov 08 and can honestly say had a great time. Walked to and from the nearby clubhouse on several occasions, but along foot path 10 mins tops, and enjoyed a few pints and a game or two of pool.
Penthouse size at la torre is larger than that at Condado with a good size kitchen (that is seperate from the living room)and a ulility. Also with the advantage of mains gas for cooking and hotwater your not so dependent on one energy sourse in the event of a fault.
