Kristie Perry
The pictures look better than the actual place. It is small and you only have a two seater couch for a family of four not even extra chairs to sit around the lounge area together. The pool is like a fish bowl so small and no tea place to sit pool side as you have to go up these stairs and straight in the pool. The place is clean but that’s the only positive. Staff are rude and not helpful. We left...

Absolutely love love love this place! It has one of the best beach/ocean views I've ever seen! It's quiet but the kids loved it!

The beds are clean, when you lay down on them it feels like you're about to drift off on a cloud and your body fe...

Simply wonderful. Two bedroom and two bathroom with large balcony. Beautiful room and facilities. Beds super comfy. Dishwasher washing machine and dryer. Reception lady was extremely polite and helpful. Superb location only three minutes from beach and all the shops you could ever want. Will definitely be staying here again. Thanks

The building is located behind another high rise, so zero beach views. I was told there is a surcharge of $50 on Friday and Saturday nights. Apparently, they usually charge $100 per Friday and Saturday. And they ta...
