"The apartment was light, airy and spacious.It had all the basics but some additional tea towels and paper products would have been handy in the kitchen. Good view from the balcony but quite noisy with construction going on next door. The facilities at the property were well maintained. A nice pool, spa and BBQ area. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great location, one block to the beach and a 5-10 minute walk to the main drag of Surfers."
