The pool and tennis court in the complex were great too. Nice sized apartment with an abundance of board games to use. The windows and sliding doors need an upgrade. They rattled a lot and opening the sliding door from the master to the balcony was tricky. A little too over priced but overall we had a great stay. ##### Jessy B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally C. 26 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Family holiday We really enjoyed our stay at Fingal Bay. It was a great location, the apartment was very spacious with large bedrooms and all furnishings and kitchen was clean and modern. The pool, tennis court and grounds were very well maintained and very clean. It was disappointing that there was no wifi, which we failed to check on the listing when booking but haven’t stayed anywhere without before so didn’t think to check. It wouldn’t have been a problem but for the fact that we also had no phone reception either within the apartment, despite the mobile tower just down the road. It made planning and booking activities a little challenging. Whilst the apartment has been updated, all sliding doors and windows need to be serviced or replaced as they were difficult to open and close and the screens were full of holes so we had a bug invasion one night. The windows had safety locks so they couldn’t be opened too far which is understandable for those with small children but without ceiling fans or air conditioning it would be unbearable sleeping there in the height of summer. Pedestal fans would not be enough. Great apartment just needs a few final touches. ##### Sally C. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen Q. 6 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Fingal The best location for the best price. ##### Helen Q.
