    Having to take our luggage up 4 flights of stairs. We did attempt to go to reception to ask for an additional set of keys (as we did go out at different times and it would have been convenient to have two sets of keys) but there was no-one at reception when we went (I believe this was about 3pm on Saturday).

    We had a lovely view of the marina. The location was convenient with places to eat within walking distance.

    The property is very dated outside areas could do with a paint, it just needs a little TLC small things, light bulb on balcony was blown, fan in main bedroom only had medium and fast speed the low speed wasn’t working, curtains in main bedroom were dirty, washing machine had gunk in it so didn’t want to use it, back patio had not been swept. Master bathroom needs new shower screens, the lounge room could’ve done with 2 x 3 seater since the place can accommodate 6 people also a small lounge in the master bedroom would be nice since it’s so big. Some more patio furniture considering there are 3 balconies. A proper washing line on back patio would be advantageous.

    The view was spectacular, the spaciousness of the top floor and plenty of room but above all the view! Great facilities, pools and tennis courts and lock up garage.

    didn't like how dark the stair well was when you first walked out of your room, the sensor light did not work until you were on the next level. we didn't realise there was no lift to the top floor, we were ok, but my 80 year old dad struggled. this was our fault for not checking first. but would have been nice to be made aware as well.

    We loved the view, the apartment was spacious and clean but basic.

    The bed in main bedroom (with ensuite) was so hard the occupants considered sleeping on the sofas at one point. No TV connection and we needed to wind down.

    Breakfast was not included in our choice of accommodation. The location was perfect!

    The bed and sofa bed could be more comfortable, you can feel the spring unit of the sofa bed.

    We adored the beachfront setting of our ground-floor room. It was equipped with all the necessary appliances for a brief getaway, featuring a separate living area and a balcony that granted convenient access to the swimming pool.

    Car garage was tiny. Lots of steps into apartment, no lifts. The whole resort is looking tired, rust in doorways etc. needs a full refurbishment.

    Location was great. Lounge furniture was good. Kitchen was good. The bed was a bit saggy but overall place was good.

    It was close to one of our excursions we had booked but it's a longer walk or uber drive away from the main touristy pier area.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a quiet gated community and we were renting one of the apartments. There was laundry in our unit which was a pleasant surprise. And a nice view of the water.

    There were ants in the unit, which did end up in our stored food and in the beds. There was also no vacuum available in the room which would’ve helped cleaning up any sand.

    Location to beach front and great value for money. Full kitchen and two rooms, perfect for a family getaway.

    The screens on the doors were very flimsy but did the job, I would rather have lockable screen doors so you could leave the doors open for the breeze to come in.
