    The apartment was quite noisy in the wind coming through gaps around the windows.

    Good location, excellent helpful staff at reception, well equipped apartment with awesome views of the beach and river. Good for the kids, the child friendly plastic cups and plates were a bonus.

    Single beds in the second room a little uncomfortable, however, still fine to sleep on.

    The location and view from our 9th story apartment was unbelievable. Huge ceiling to floor windows to make the most of the ocean view. Beautifully decorated and classy. Homely touches. All appliances and kitchen equipment you could need. Modern laundry appliances. The whole apartment was so spacious including the main bedroom and ensuite bathroom with a corner spa. Second bathroom a good size with plenty of cupboard space. Large wardrobes in both rooms, lots of hanging and storage space. Very clean throughout. Huge balcony overlooking the ocean, with comfortable outdoor furniture. Aircon in living area and in each bedroom. Reception very classy. The welcome at Check in from the staff was exceptional with lots of information from the best places to eat out to where the flags were to stay safe. Extremely friendly. Pool, bbq and spas area is huge, modern and clean. A wonderful space, especially for large families, with an alfresco style seating area. Secure car parking and easy lifts.

    The apartment had a 180 degree view of the Ocean. It was right across the road.

    Bathroom is needing attention and bit of modernising. The Tiles are very tired, inside cupboards are shabby and not very clean, blinds were broken and old style, spa is old. could have been a little more generous with soap supplied main bedroom Tv is dangerous. Easy to bang your head as passing by as it sticks out too far

    booking and connection to staff was seamless and friendly. lots of cupboards in kitchen and bathroom kitchen supplies and crockery were spotless and very well equipped location is fabulous even without any car peaceful surroundings , great views

    The bed was quite uncomfortable and hard for us both. Additionally the spa bath in the pictures had a full view of the ocean however in reality had a rusted screen over it that was unable to be raised and half view. Minimal issues however.

    The view is second to none, the hotel had everything we needed and more.

    No shade at the pool unless you Sat completely under a pagola. It needs softening with some trees and landscaping in that pool area. It’s very stark

    Although it's 'self catering', we stayed 6 days but there were limited soaps, shampoos and dishwasher tablets. We ran out after three days and when we asked for top ups were told we had to provide them ourselves. Pretty poor and a very inflexible 'no' to our request. Should we have made two three-day bookings for the same price in different family member's names? We also had a family member with allergies arrive half way through so had to replace dish cloths - again, we were told that was up to us. Management of this complex was therefore not very helpful or visitor-focussed - the blatant miserliness detracted from the whole experience. For the five star price paid there's a lot of room for improvement...

    Close to beach and great sea and whale views.
