“Great location - rooms a bit tired.”
We had a 5 night break in the Peninsula - great location less than 100m to the beach. Room was a small 2 bed apartment with kitchen, bathroom and living area. The first room we were given had a great ocean view, but the furniture was scuffed and a bit battered - worst was the broken coffee table, and (new) kitchen cupboard doors not properly attached - also it wasn't all that clean. After a day at the parks we got back and found more bits and pieces that were broken or not working (lamps, hairdryer, shower doors, light/ceiling fan switches ...). We pointed these out to the desk and they immediately sorted us out with a replacement room - another 15 storeys up. Much better generally although the furniture was still a bit tired and dusty with handles missing from cupboard doors. The main bedroom light was broken too.
The Peninsula has good facilities - indoor heated pool was very useful when it rained - and the gym was small but had a decent selection of equipment (not that we used it). Plenty of secure parking under the apartments. The outdoor pools and gardens were very well maintained. Some of the apartments were being renovated during our stay, but there was no noise or disturbance.
Overall, great location, great views, great facilities and friendly efficient desk staff, but disappointing rooms. We would recommend that you request a newly refurbished room for your stay at the Peninsula.
