Free Netflix, kitchen well supplied, bathroom run down.
The check in process was fast and so was the check out. The room was specious for us two and was nice to have a kitchen even though we didn’t use it. Would recommend to any family.

From the booking through the checkout this place was exactly what we wanted/needed. The communication prior to my trip was outstanding. It was also nice to receive a welcome text. We had no issues with the stay so no need to contact owner. Very conveniently located to food, shopping, the beach. Would recommend.

Excellent location away from hustle and bustle. Easy access to Hilton Village, beach, restaurants and shops. We hired a car and luckily could park for 4 nights but car park space limited and costs $42 per night. The hotel and apartment is in need of renovation. Apartment was clean but a lot smaller than shown in photos especially the bathroom which is tiny. Main hotel a/c comes on at 5am. The apartment was a perfect base for what we needed.

The condo was really nice and clean. Furniture was very comfortable. Huge televisions in every room. Was really close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. The view from the room is nothing special and the balcony does not get sun so you have to go to the pool to get your rays. Pool area was small and pool water was quite cold but good for what we used it for. Overall really good experience.
