Positive Reviews
positive:
Apartments feel like a home away from home.
Rather than traditional guestrooms, this accommodation offers fully furnished apartments including several amenities. Each unit is spacious with modern fixtures and cleaned to a high standard, according to reviews. They are also comfortable and luxurious feeling.
positive:
Located in a handy spot.
There are plenty of attractions within walking distance of this resort. Not only is it handy for visiting the beach or marina, but numerous shops and cafes can also be found in close proximity.
positive:
Everyone receives a warm welcome from the staff.
This resort is very well managed and all of the staff members are wonderfully friendly. They are also extremely helpful with area information for travellers.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lots of little charges found on bills.
Guests may find some extra charges added to their bill after checking out. That is because a number of things that are expected to be included – such as pool towels – are actually extra and added to final totals without warning.
negative:
Resort should not be rated five stars.
Despite this accommodation having a five-star rating, not every guest feels their stay is so luxurious. Few property amenities are available and without any food included in stays then people expecting a first class experience can be let down.
negative:
Guests often can’t get online.
It is really hard to get online at this resort, guest reviews state. When people are able to connect, the Wi-Fi signal quality is so inconsistent that it can be almost impossible to accomplish anything.
