"Location is ideal and the apartment is spacious. Only issue was with bugs that we had to report to housekeeping to manage. The floors also did not appear to be cleaned in the eating area as there were crumbs from whoever was there last."

"We enjoyed a room away from the busy main hotel. However, we still had access to the main hotel. We were able to enjoy a simple (and cheaper!) home made breakfast. Coca Chu, Beach House Restaurant (which we tried - excellent!) - easy walking distance. We picked up a community umbrella at Beach House when we were caught out in rain, but would have appreciated if there was one left at our room. Many would find the adjacent buggy park useful, too."
