"Disappointing, though again, great location with lovely staff."

3.0

#1 The location #2 Lovely reception staff #3 Nice large pool shaded by trees

#1 The room was outdated & requires an update #2 There were stains & marks on the furniture #3 The range-hood was filthy #4 The air conditioning vent was filthy which is unhealthy #5 The pillows were mouldy #6 The pool was full of leaves on the Sunday after a very windy night on the Saturday. Yes, the leaves on the outside of the pool were blown into gardens, though you cannot have people swimming in a lovely big pool full of leaves #7 The hallway carpets are way past an upgrade This property is in a fantastic location with a lovely large pool surrounded by trees that provide some nice filtered shade on strong sunny days. It has all the bones to be much better again. If you don’t update a competitor will take your potential clientele.

"A great spot, centrally located with a beautiful pool and lovely gardens. Unit needs more comfort."

8.0

The pool was fantastic. The garden and foliage around the pool and the property were well-maintained and created a beautiful setting.

While the unit we stayed in had a great view over the pool, on the top floor and was a good size, the actual furniture apart from the bed was uncomfortable. Both the armchairs in the unit and the ones on the balcony were uncomfortable, poor back support and we went away with sore backs.

"Great location, terrible"

6.0

The location was great and the staff very nice and helpful

The room furniture was very dated. The bathrooms were terrible, very old, a leaking toilet. The shower leaked water everywhere. The pool was very disappointing. The water was freezing. It was too cold for us let alone our 4 year old. During the stay for 6 nights no one was ever in the pool. Which is crazy considering how inviting it always looked and it’s hard to swim in the beaches so was disappointing we couldn’t swim in the pool either.

"Beautiful. Will be back - look out for the sales"

10.0

Beautiful resort. A little dated but top notch facilities. Pool is fantastic. Walking distance to so many different food options. Beautiful staff.

Could do with a little update or Reno/ fresh paint to Make the price point feel super reasonable. The gym was great but needed a good scrub.

"Lovely holiday at the Drift"

8.0

The area is accessible and convenient to everything. There is a nearby supermarket just a walk away from the Drift. Walk to the sea in the morning and afternoon after sunset. And at night enjoy the dining in one of the cafe and estaurant within the area. It was truly an enjoyable stay. The apartment is clean and has all the amenities needed, we even cooked our own meals. Our unit have easy access to the pool. Overall, outstanding experience.

We dont quite like the noise of the animal at night when we are swimming.

Where it was. And the pool was great! Parking was free and well located.

Everything was good but the kitchen is not very well equipped. The second bedroom is a strange set up. You wouldn't have privacy as 2 couples.
