The indoor pool was fantastic! we didn't have great weather so made wonderful use of indoor pool and spa. The outdoor pool was large and the grounds were immaculate. The only downside was no BBQ - easily fixed.

Hotel was nice- room spacious and ideal for our purpose. Lovely sea view. Swimming pool great for the little one. Ideally situated in a lovely area that doesn’t feel too ‘holiday resort’. Cockroaches in bathroom but that’s Australia! Aircon not working in bedroom- had to manually reset outside every time. No hangers in any wardrobes.

The property is located at the Main beach which is a prime area. Short stroll to the beach, park, cafes & tram stop should you wish to roam around. This well equipped & managed building has 35 levels with undercover car park has indoor & outdoor pool, spa, sauna, gym & tennis court. We were at the 25th level with sea facing view which was simply spectacular. The rooms are clean, has fully equipped kitchen, central Air condition, TV w foxtel and laundry facilities that makes your stay comfy. In short a luxurious apartment with a view & ample of amenities.

Disappointed

The hotel was ok on price great location however run down they even painted around the couch on this one crazy so ugly. Our biggest complaint is the cleaners ate my birthday cake, thinking we had left however it was a $60 cake barely touched, the ate a quarter of it and the chocolate specialty pieces ate all of them. I was gobsmacked at first but really this should never happen to imagine if you left jewelry would they keep it or hand it in mmmmmm...
