We stayed for a swimming competition weekend. It was great to unwind at the end of the day. Easy to prepare meals and the comforts of home. The only negative was the the street light was very bright and blinds did not block it and the light outside the kids room stayed on all night too and blind did not block the extra light.. Which made it difficult for them to get a good night sleep.

The apartment was generally great but I was very disappointed with a few things regarding to cleanliness. The master bedhead was full of stains as was the coverlets over the single beds. The hot water also didn’t go very hot which was disappointing as we had super cold weather. Other than that, the apartment was clean, had an amazing view of the ocean and the pool was heated.

Unfortunately, I hadn't read the negative reviews before I booked our stay at the Rainbow Sea Resort. While our suite had stunning views over the ocean and was attractively decorated in a Hamptons/beachy style, as shown in the promotional photos, those were the only positives. The bathroom and kitchen were in dire need of a thorough deep clean; there was grime and black mould in the bathroom, and a very unpleasant smell in the kitchen. I should also point out that, although the Resort's website states that guests can book tours at the front desk, this is no longer the case.
