On arrival we were advised we had been upgraded from the one bedroom apartment to a two bedroom apartment which was a surprising bonus. Coming into the apartments ours was on the right hand side on the second level. The apartment was well set up, clean, well equipped with the balcony overlooking the pool/spa area and also a view of the beach which is just across the road. We had no issues with noise at all. The beds are very comfortable, there is lots of wardrobe space. The whole area is well maintained. The free underground secure parking is ideal and with restaurants, bars, shops all within 5 mins walking distance the car was only required for longer trips. Nicki the manager was fantastic very helpful and knowledgeable with ideas of what to do. The service we received from Nicki and her son were exceptional. We would certainly stay here again and give this place our recommendation. Just some tips on places to eat - Alfrescos cafe is next door and a great place for breakfast and dinner. Don't bother having dinner at 35 Restaurant, the food is very average although it is a great place for a drink due to it's location over the water. It is worth a trip to Russell which is very quaint. We ate at the Duke of Marlbourgh which is a great location but the food selection was quite basic and overpriced, running out of the calamari and mussell dishes by 1.30pm therefore not leaving much to choose from.
