Good enough location towards the end of the esplanade (opposite to where most of the life is but probably only 15 walk along the board walk). Lovely staff who gave recommendations and organised taxi for us. Room is getting a little worn but grand if you’re out all day. The windows are single glazed and we were woken one night by a couple having a drunken row (not the hotels fault!).

Great place to stay

We stay here twice a year in a suite and love the location, It is opposite the Esplanade and very close to restaurants and a supermarket. The only drawback is lack of storage in the kitchenette. Parking is readily available and the pool area is very nice

One bedroom ocean view suite. Very comfortable. Close to restaurants and market. Friendly staff. Christina was very welcoming at check in. AC in both living room and bedroom was a plus, as the weather was quite hot.

Pros: Staff is available 24/7 and super friendly and helpful. My unit was super spacious. Beds and pillows were comfy. The pool area is clean and well maintained. The view from the balconies is gorgeous. Location is right by the esplanade so perfect to walk/exercise and you can get to the Lagoon area in 15 mins. Cons: the walls are paper-thin so you can hear lots of noise coming from the hallway and neighbours.
