I didn’t give 5 stars because I had anticipated a bath in the apartment. The sauna, spa and pool was great. Not a lot of parking. Beach is right across the street, and all the shopping nearby.

Excellent location plus ocean view. Shower is located over a spa. Not an issue for us, but could possibly be an inconvience for anyone with physical challenges. We enjoyed our stay.

It is obvious this property relies on its location to attract customers. The facilities are average and poorly maintained. Laminex surfaces badly chipped, metal corroded and patching of damaged walls obvious. Just a place to sleep!

Notwithstanding our unit had been recently renovated and was very comfortable and presentable the property at large is getting a bit old and has some deterioration showing in places. However, everything is functional and clean.

Oh my gosh the location is beautiful. You aren’t paying for the room, you are paying for the view. It’s just beautiful. Bathroom was very average. Needs a good clean and maybe a bit of a Reno. Felt dirty and didn’t feel comfortable using the shower. Very basic room, old furniture but it did the job. First impression of walking to the room we saw a mouse run across the footpath near the pool. Was kind of gross but not the hotels fault. Can’t help nature I guess

Loved this place. Staff super friendly. The only downfall is you have to step up and into spa to have a shower. It is a big step up. Everything else was really good. Thankyou
