1.the place is a rabbit warren with doors and stairs up & down everywhere and very easy to have no idea where you are. 2. Room had no table to eat or drink off; or any suitable area/table/desk to work off. 3. The small spa bath was a 'death trap' with a very deep to get in, no handles or rails, nowhere to seat; and so for the same reasons, very difficult to get out safely. 4. The small fridge is a disgrace - no shelves in the door at all except a bottom shelf that only had a 2-3cm rail so you could put nothing in it (and as mentioned) there were no other shelves; and the other shelves in the fridge were also dysfunctional heights, partly because of the totally useless door. 5.There no actual CHAIRS to sit down at (and as mentioned no table either) - just two old barely adequate lounge chairs.

Loved the location, easy to walk around for everything that we need. Beach, park, groceries, cafes, restaurants. Ideal for small children and was nice to hang around the salt water pool if the beach felt like too much. My apartment was average but also everything we needed for a few days stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Only one set of towels or you’d have to pay. Bed is not a true queen but a double and uncomfortable. Staff were ok, internet is not even NBN and cuts out all the time and you need it cause no reception in area. Beautiful part of the world though.

I booked a Queen studio. I would have thought a studio had a small kitchenette, but all that was there was a fridge placed next to the tv unit which is where the cutlery and cups were kept. We had to use the bathroom sink for washing up. Luckily it was only a short stay so we managed, but had we have booked for a week I would have been very unhappy. It was also very dated and the bed was terrible.
