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.

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.

Stunning to sit out there by the moonlight. Would 1000% stay here again.

There was spa bath with shower over it,but the spa bath didn't work. And couldn't cast my phone on either of the tv's and the TV'S were different and it was a little bit smaller than I first thought it would be, but it did job perfectly for the price. Over all, I would say about 5.5 out of 10 just being honest.
