It's a very good place. Ground floor, terrace, lots of space, equipped kitchen. There's a supermarket very close. Perfect! There were restaurants nearby. We didn't eat there, but it could be good for people without a car. It was very clean. Parking on the street was easy. Very quiet at night.

The drain of the bath is very, very slow. When taking a shower the bath fills up really quickly and one needs to close the water and wait for the water to drain. The living is very dark. I'd suggest to put stronger lights there (more Watts). It'd be nice to have a sponge and detergent in the kitchen. These things are inconvenient to carry around when traveling.

Everything. The apartment was very clean with large rooms. There was two balconies. One for the bedroom and another longer one which was outside the kitchen and dining room. Kitchen was well equipped. Our apartment was at the back overlooking the pool. The complex is near a large shopping centre.

Location is superb, right in the middle of everything. Room was spacious and spotless with everything that could possibly be needed for a weeks stay provided. Value for money is second to none, and everyone working was friendly if a bit stern.

The location is perfect. Quite area but close to the old town and the strip. Apartment was huge. Lovely view from the balcony and was spotless. Everyone there were lovely.

Couldn't find any fault. Would definitely book again.

Spacious (whole apartment), super clean and comfortable place. Great location close to shopping centre and restaurants while being quiet at night. Excellent window blinds! Great value for money.

There was only one pillow per bed. It would be lovely to have a couple of pillows per person. The air conditioning in the room was a bit too noisy but worked well

Great sized apartment. Very clean and staff were lovely. We had a view of water and pool from our balcony. Great value for money.

Aircon was only in the bedroom, not a big problem because the airflow through the apartment was great with all the doors open. The kitchen could have used basic condiments like salt & pepper and oil.

A very spacious apartment with everything you need. Location was perfect as we know the area well . There is a ramp into the building and also a lift for anybody requiring assistance.

Everything was as we expected.

Good value for money, we got a full apartment, with a big living room where we saw even ocean. There was everything you need for a short stay, even a long stay if you like. Free parking on the street. The supermarket is very close.

Outdated furniture, there wasn't any soap, shampoo, dishwashing sponge, or dishwashing liquids. But everything was very clean.

We found the property was fine for us as a middle aged couple. It was clean, had air con in the bedroom, handy for the beach and shops/restaurants. Pool area was clean.

My Husband was disappointed it didn’t have any bar area.
