The service was good and friendly, the beds were comfy. We were close to town and the pool was lovely and clean and inviting.
We were on the 3rd level, it was lovely to look down on the the pool. Unfortunately the stairs were a bit much for my mum and sister. when I first rang about the room, I thought they said we were on the bottom floor. Apart from that, we enjoyed ourselves.

The room was very spacious and close to the city centre. The staff was very kind with letting us check in late and leave our luggage after checking out.
There were no lifts in the building and no products left in the room.

We travelled as a softball team so great for the team to stay there. Location was perfect. Beds were comfy enough. The bathroom was clean just ran out of hot water early. Pool was beautiful and the staff exceptional.
Just running out of hot water.

I liked the central location.
The hot water tap on the bathroom vanity leaked through the handle and ran onto the vanity and the floor. The second exhaust fan in the shower room was noisy and disturbing drumming.

Very central location which is walking distance from the esplanade, restaurants, bars and other attractions. There was a bus stop very close by which made accessing public transport effortless. The room is basic but has everything you need for a great nights sleep.

The location was absolutely perfect for me and my family especially the kids. Rooms were perfect for us as well as the beds. The apartment perfectly was suitable for our stay with swimming pool right at our doorway. Maria was so friendly in settling us in and assisted with house keeping etc.
Nothing.
