Apart from a sliding door that was tough to open all the amenities of a small home were available with an underground car park plus visitor parking! Very clean tiled floors although the bed on castors moved a little too easily
Room with a fabulous sea view. Great pool/spa areas with access to both areas so we could choose the one that suited our needs.
The direct connection to the beach was also convenient.
Staff were chatty whether it be 5 am on our way to watch the sunrise when he was cleaning the pool or in the evening when he was watering the gardens.
Books and puzzles available in the reception area to borrow.
Short walk to the ice cream shop cafes and superette. The Ginger Factory, Nut Factory The Big Pineapple and Aquarium all a short drive away. We went to The Ginger/Nut Factory prior to checking in and The Big Pineapple on our way home after check out
Looking forward to our next visit

Staff were very good. Some items showing a bit of wear and tear (lounge), dish washer did not clean dinner plates, flaking off the ceiling but all up the apartment was comfortable and quiet and in a good location.

The room was clean and tidy ant the location was great; close to restaurants, boutique shopping and the beach. Amenities were good, we used the pool and spa heaps. The only downside was the basic amounts of soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid etc for a short stay. We stayed 6 nights so the visited the local foodmart (3 minute walk) frequently. That said, it's still value for money
Excellent location staff absolutely brilliant and very helpful and friendly I will definitely be back for another visit
