that sounds like azul? does the unit have floor-to-ceiling windows? if that's the place, tread carefully: my understanding is that the sun bakes through those windows and creates a lot of heat in the units, and people there have experienced quite high electricity bills as a result. i'm pretty sure i've heard reports of various other maintenance issues in that building as well.
the thing is, if you're uncomfortable spending $1300, it's not going to be easy to find a place that doesn't have some drawbacks (even a large studio or 1 bedroom). i think you would have to get up to the $1600-$2000 range (for studios or 1 bedrooms, and expect at least $100/month and possibly as much as $300-400/month for electricity on top of that) to get something ideal. i remember someone telling me that a building on the north end called "haab", which is fairly new and reasonably nice at least, has studios. maybe check for price & availability there?
i did a quick search and i found this:

i've seen those units before. it's not too far from the other places you were looking at by mega. but those other buildings are old...at least this is a new building. it's a small building...maybe 6 units or so. a little pool on the roof which isn't too bad. the furnishings and finishings are sort of cheap, but it's not completely terrible. might be a decent option to take a look at...
