Underwhelming Stay with Several Issues

faulty fridge unreliable wi-fi

The room lacked some of the amenities I expected, like the oven and hotplates. To make matters worse, the fridge failed to keep my drinks cold and seemed to have a minor leak. It is also disappointing the Wi-Fi on my iPad didn't work and I couldn't stream any content on the television.

Blissful beachside escape

handy shops smiling staff

I found the location so convenient. It was easy to walk to The Wharf and having shops next door was very handy. The staff were always smiling and willing to help. I appreciate this kind of cute.

I noticed some noise from foot traffic. The bedroom is located directly off the rear access corridor from the lifts. It was somewhat disruptive (especially during peak hours).

Rooms

The one bedroom ocean view apartment had a good size. The beds are comfortable. The balcony provides a restful view of the ocean, perfect for a pre-dinner snack or a glass of wine.

The hotel has easy access to the beach. It is across the road from the beach. Restaurants and cafes are within easy walking distance. It has a great location.
