What guests think

Guests like the pool and spa areas, some private rooftop terraces with hot tubs and BBQs, and convenient on-site parking. Recurring downsides include inconsistent in-room maintenance, difficult shower-over-spa setups or non-working spa baths, occasional noise, and patchy Wi-Fi or hot water in some units. Expect a convenient, beachside base with well-liked leisure facilities and variable apartment standards.

This was probably a nice property when it was built, but it’s in drastic need of a renovation. The tile floors were horrific, both the quality of the install and the fact they were filthy. Asked to have them cleaned and the cleaning staff said “it probably won’t do anything, they need to be professionally cleaned” - um, isn’t that your job? Furniture was rusty And/or cracked, chipped and worn. Sound proofing was non-existent- heard the kids in the pool from 7:30 and the couple above arguing every morning. Yikes.

The property is aging and needs general upgrade. The Bathroom shower in our suite was in a high sided spa bath with two steps up in order to step into. It was not easy or safe for older folks or people with leg or back problems to into or out of…but generally a risk of falling for anybody who was not careful. The towel racks and towel hooks were pulled from the wall and door and hanging loosely on their screws.

What we liked - the private rooftop area with spa, the location and the pools. What we didn’t like - confusing after-hours check-in instructions and no bedding available for the BOOKED child and trying to sort it out by ourselves at midnight. No bed (figured out there was a sofabed), no bedding for the sofabed so had to cannibalise sheets, blankets and pillows from the main bed to make the bed able to be slept in and no towelling for our child. If we hadn’t booked her, understandable, but she WAS booked as staying. Was not how we wanted to start our mini-break.

we have stayed there before and it's nice. This time all was nice again the only thing was we mentioned the TV in the bedroom wasn't working and told them straight away on the day we arrived. We came back after going out and found they had taken it away but no note to say what was going on. We were there for 3 nights and the TV was never replaced. So that was disappointing. Other than that they are very friendly people who run the place.

A shame that our room faced north-west.... we had no view other than the rooms & corridors on other levels. It Was school holidays so the noise from the pool and spa beneath echoed loudly Rooms were fairly sound-proofed 👍 Great spot near the Esplanade - heaps to do / see / and eat! Just missing an ocean view 😉

The property is very well positioned to everything. The property is a bit down at heel now. On arrival to our ground-floor apartment asa family of four we discovered the right side of our exterior courtyard was ‘dug up’ for extensive plumbing works, with exposed pipe work, holes, mud puddles, a pile of rubble totally detracting from the aesthetic and presenting safety issues. The courtyard also was unswept and had a fallen branch in it. We were not informed of this in advance in any booking or confirmation information. When I politely complained, the Manager persistently declined to accept there was any issue at all and effectively said our concern was illegitimate because previous clients had said nothing and because we were going to use the courtyard anyway. She did not get it (or refused to accept any responsibility for the services sold). I asked for a reduced tariff but then had to spend my own time seeking this from Wotif/Expedia. While the apartment was generally suitable, the bathroom tap leaked, and various other things needed fixing. Below par for what should be expected for the price and basic services. Lack care for the customer.
