Nice apartment with plenty of space. The view was lovely and the balcony was nice to sit on and watch the waves. Kitchen was clean and had all we needed. Pool was nice to swim in with a heated spa to relax in. The air con units struggled with the space in the master bedroom and the living area. A fan in the living area would have helped i think. The rec room beside the pool was a hot box and needed a fan or the ability to open the doors. The pool table was a bit old and in need of repair but the ping pong table was good fun.

Worst ever hotel/apartment I have ever lived in. Everything was dirty, old, rusty and stinky. The bedsheets were stained , couch stinky. There were cockroaches in the kitchen. My son had allergic reaction due to the carpet which was very old and dirty. The whole place needs refurbishment and furniture replacement. It was such a nice location but the apartment condition ruined our trip.

Unfortunately we were quite disappointed with our stay. There was no communication prior to our stay in regards to the check in process or the bedding configuration. The bathrooms had not been cleaned properly and the bedding on a couple of the beds had marks on it. Our room had a lovely fit out at one point, but this has not been maintained in any way. The property managers were also unhelpful. The day before checkout, I asked the managers if we could leave our suitcases with them for an hour while we had breakfast, their response was that I needed to contact the agent that I booked with and they were not prepared to provide that service for us. I couldn't believe that was the response.
