8.6/10 Excellent! (399 reviews)

Our stay at Spindrift was good. It was close to the venues we attended. The pool was clean and handy for the kids to have fun. The furniture was a bit old, especially the bunk bed was squeaking in the quiet of the night. Also the kitchen utensils were not that clean. Overall, I think it was ok. We hardly stayed in so didn't feel it so much.

We had an amazing weeks stay in a newly renovated apartment, and it was excellent. The apartment was well appointed , and the view was incredible. The location was central to all of the restaurants and main strip. The pools were great for the kids , and we also played pickle ball which was great fun.
