Unit 23 was conveniently located to the pool area through our courtyard area without the proximity impinging on our privacy. The extra communal toilet and shower were very useful. The carport was easily accessible. We appreciated the ease of the automatic gates. Loved that the lounges had footrests. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with utensils etc.

Disappointing that the accompanying restaurant was closed and we weren't told prior to arriving. We had looked forward to the convenience of close meals, especially the buffet breakfasts advertised with the property. The courtyard was rather neglected. Even though the bathroom had a step in shower, it was a bit awkward to access. We were unhappy that the spa wasn't always heated and was closed on our last afternoon there. It was inconvenient having 1 bedside table missing and no light or power point on that side of the bed.

The 2 bdrm apartment was absolutely lovely, spacious and it would be hard to sway me from returning as my go-to from now on. I would definitely recommend for a holiday stay as the layout would be perfect for a family. It is also quiet with a desk and table for someone like myself travelling for business. The unit was beautifully and tastefully decorated, a credit to the owners.

Just be aware that this apartment is on the third floor with stair access only. If you aren’t great with stairs or have young children a lower floor may be better suited. The mattress may need replacing soon as it did have a sag to it on the right hand side. (This didn’t bother me personally as I sleep on the left.)

The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. The bedding was good as well as the amenities within the unit. We did not realise that we were on the 2nd floor without an elevator (so if you are elderly or have trouble using stairs, be wary). Also, the name of the resort was confused with their sister resort that is at the back (and much closer to the water).

The stairs with no elevators. We were not informed of this until with had booked (and paid). We were confused with the sister resort that is closer to the water (Ramada Encore is near the water, while Whale Cove is behind the Encore).

We were ground level opposite the ping pong room which was perfect for the kids. They also loved the pool. Plenty of space in the apartment and very well equipped kitchen. Loved the bits of art work and ornaments about the place, made it feel very homely instead of clear flat (boring!) surfaces

Used the spare blanket as I’m cold in air con. When I opened it out it had live cockroaches in it! I killed them, not a biggie, but it gave me a creepy crawly feeling while using it

Good place to stay if you want to do a day tour to K'igari, right by the Sandy straits Marina, we only had to walk for 15 min. The apartment had everything you need, big kitchen with a lot of dishes and a dishwasher. The unit was intended for 4-6 guests, so we had a lot of space, just being the two of us! The carpark was just in front of the apartment.

The only thing that didn't work were the blinds in our bedroom. There were no curtains, just something to roll down, which got stuck. So you couldn't use it. We slept fine anyway!

Great place to stay with a family. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment (which is more of a three bedroom if you count the front room with sofa bed). It was plenty large enough for our family of six. The room was clean and well appointed with cooking equipment. Beds were comfy and plenty of outdoor area on the ground level apartment.

The location was good however we did have to drive a short distance if we wanted to go anywhere other then the boat club.

Apartment was surprising very spacious. It was very clean and adequately stocked for two or three nights. Great location - an easy walk to the marina. Check in was super easy and reception staff was very friendly and explained everything well. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Some items (e.g. bedroom fan) looked "aged" but this is purely aesthetics and does not impact on functionality.

I marked it down for comfort purely because of the noise from the two apartments upstairs. They appear to be (permanent) residents and were unfortunately rather noisy - understandably as they are used to their routine of school/work etc. However one had a visitor that had a yappy dog and that was slightly annoying. If I was to stay here again, I would ask for top floor apartment or prefer one without residents.

Clean very comfortable and spacious, had everything we needed to cook and do laundry. Very comfortable sofas and beds. Efficient aircon and fans. Lovely large bathroom and shower. We were on the top floor, so quite private. It was peaceful at night.

Nothing to mention

Great location, quiet, nicely equipped apartment, parking right at the door (stairwell), lovely staff. Our second stay there this year and would be more than happy to stay again.

Pre-arrival cleaning appeared to have been rushed as some surfaces were a bit sticky and cleaning materials for the kitchen (detergent, tea towel, sponge, scourer, dishwasher powder, rubbish bags) were missing - but quickly provided by housekeeping when requested.

Location was great, Pool and spa lovely Close to Marina

Little things need attention like no salt provided but pepper was, clock in kitchen not working on arrival, needs new battery. Some cups were stuck to shelf on cupboard like they were sticky, cockroach in the toaster and had an ant problem too. Master bedroom doesn’t have a lock, two way bathroom can be a little challenging in a family setting with privacy
