"Blissful time for Brits in a tropical paradise!!"

10.0

The whole place was a tropical oasis. Spent my birthday here which coming from UK meant that I was not in the miserable cold and rain that January normally brings. Pool- great fun. Apartment was very spacious and had ALL amenities you could possibly need and they upgraded us too!! Very close to the beach and restaurants along the Esplanade. Big supermarket less than 5 minute drive. Staff could not do enough for you.

I hate to criticise in any way but the bathroom could do with a little modernising.

"Loved location, and the pool"

7.0

Pool was great, staff were great and helpful

Rooms needed to be cleaned more thoroughly, we rented 2 apartments one was good, the second 3303 was dirty, outdated, needs new beds and especially a new couch you could not sit on it, balcony furniture also needed to be replaced.

"Никогда не останавливайтесь здесь!"

1.0

Из положительного только расположение

Ужасно все! Я не знаю, кто пишет положительные отзывы… заселение происходило по телефону, стойка регистрации работает не круглосуточно. До номера шли долго страшными коридорами. Номер был очень старый и очень грязный, запах сырости-это вредно для здоровья, выгоревшие шторы и оказывается нам еще и апгрейд сделали, лучше бы сделали ремонт и генеральную уборку. Фото не соответствуют действительности. Выехали с возвратом денег.

"Good"

2.0

The room was fairly plain and nondescript. The location was great.

I was hit on the arm by a metre long paper bark gumtree branch while sitting on a chair in the pool area. I had my two month old baby in my arms and the tree hit me about 5-10cm away from her head. I sustained an injury from the branch. In response the staff said “we just had a tree assessment done, I don’t know what to say”. Pretty poor experience, reaction from staff and terrifying as a new mum.
