Major renovations going on. Couldn’t use outdoor area as they are renovating. Work started early in the mornings . One morning it was like a Jack hammer right outside our room. Would have been nice to have been notified about this before our stay, as we picked the room for the outdoor area, which could not be accessed. Staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Since having children, I've never been happier with a place to stay as we have here. Great value for money (we stayed in a two bedroom apartment), nice pool area, so close and easy walking to three supermarkets, local food spots, and shops. The room was well cleaned, and friendly staff. Great vibes...we weren't bothered at all from the current renovations of the bar and restaurant...will definitely be staying again 😀😀

Good location and customer service. Just needs a little 'refresh' pealing paint on light switches, cracked basin, towels fraying. But other than that a comfortable stay.
