"We got 2-bedrooms apartment. The place is clean, modern /contemporary. Location is the best. It only takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, retail shops and restaurants. We literally didn't have to drive for the 3 days and 2 nights. The kitchen has all of the basic things to cook. Washer and dryer worked perfectly fine. Staff are friendly and helpful. Parking was easy, though it may require a bit of great driving skill to park at certain spots. The apartment is spacious. We had a great time staying there, and would return and recommend to friends."

"Welcoming friendly and helpful staff. Very clean apartment. Getting a little bit dated but spotlessly clean. All pots pans etc if you wished to do your own cooking. A couple of eateries and supermarket close by. Beach just across the road. Parking in designated area underground. Wifi good. It is a must if staying at this resort to try the hamburger with the lot from the fish and chip shop close by my husband said it is the best hamburger he has ever tasted. Many attractions and dining options all within a short drive."
