The staff were friendly and helpful. The view of the water from our apartment was AMAZING! The accommodation is rundown and could do with an upgrade. There was no aircon upstairs in the master bedroom, thank goodness for the sea breeze! It was disappointing that there was no wifi for guests. The lagoon pool was a let down as it's out the back near the carpark, however, the lap pool was great. There is no games room, so don't be fooled by the picture on wotif. The room just had books in it.

I enjoyed my stay here, however the room needs a bit of a refresh. The carpet in the bedroom is looking a bit sad, and it could do with a paint. However the views over the water are outstanding.

So close to beach. Unfortunately loud neighbours moved in after a couple nights one floor above. I'm not use to communal living so found that difficult

Room was tired and needed a refurb with carpets, couch cushions had makeshift filling that was uncomfortable and TV was too small. Mattress needed replacing. SPA bath in middle of room??? Beautiful gardens and property was safe and in walking distance to eateries. A little far to go to supermarket but had a cheap bus service. Good location but need to update furniture and carpet.
