6/10 Good

Stayed from Tuesday - Friday. Our stay was very nice, the area was quiet, the bed was comfortable and apartment was nice. The bar is right next door so is very convenient. Loads of restaurants options around and shopping, quick walk to the beach too. The area itself is quiet apart from cars going past but that wasn’t a problem. Our first apartment had an infestation of ants around the laundry area under the stairs / laundry sink, which soon spread to the kitchen where our food was. This was resolved fairly quickly as we were given another apartment and a free drink on the hotel in the hotel bar. Our stay was very nice apart from the ants, hence the lower star rating as things should be cleaned properly, even under stair cupboards/sink… if they were checked prior to us checking in, then the ants would have been seen and we wouldn’t have been given that room.

Visit in December 2023
We stayed in apartment 1. Not a good apartment to stay in as there is a Dan Murphy's next to it and a huge parking area. So until 9.00pm there are a lot of comings and goings. The apartment itself is well appointed and was clean, apart from a few marks on the kitchnette floor. The bed is amazing. The unit has a balconey which unfortunately faces onto the parking lot. Next visit, we'll book the swimming pool facing room.
