It was very noisy in the mid night and morning. You can hear jumping noise from upstairs or next door.

A perfect place to stay
A perfect place to stay. Within walking distance to the nicest restaurants and so close to the markets and nightlife. The room was so nice and spacious with lots of storage. The only thing I would like is a full size ironing board. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

So so
Ok. Good location, but pretty hands off if you're expecting a hotel. No plug for bathtub which made the spa tub a challenge. Difficult to make front room dark for the kids to sleep

Booked no view room, wouldn’t do that again looking straight at another apartment complex and lacked privacy. Other than that would return.

This is a great property right on the beach. The room was a lot bigger than we were expecting and very clean and comfortable. The only down side (and it was a minor thing), was that the shower wasn’t great. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would highly recommend 😊

Still non-contact venue due to COVID which makes experience very impersonal. I did not see one staff member the entire trip and requested a later check out via email, however never heard back from them

The property was across the road from the beach that was a plus but for the money i paid and that i did not get what i requested was the let down

Hi Mary,You must book a Beachfront apartment to get a water view. Unfortunately you didn't book a beachfront apartment when you booked and we couldn't offer you one when you arrived as there was none available.Sorry you were disappointed.

No outdoor flyscreen door to the outdoor area, so couldn’t keep door open for fresh air. Carpets old & need updating. Excellent location.

A great location but disappointed with the reduced reception hours. Very quiet in June so not much to do after 8pm as lots of places closed. In terms of value for money, there was less expensive accommodation nearby that looked just as good.

Layout was unusual as there were two twin beds in the kitchen area which is right by the entrance. I guess this would be good if you had kids with you? The dining table wasn’t great and it was awkward eating at it. The main room had a seating area and queen size bed. Large deck was nice. All staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were nice and well kept.
