17.6/10 Exceptional! (789 reviews)

Property was beautiful, perfect location, undercover parking, beach, shops, restaurants, buses all walking distance. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The property gardens and swimming pool are amazing!, my unit was nice, although it needs a few repairs such dishwasher, front door knob and shower, definitely shower needs to be replaced! And climbing the bathtub to get into shower is not safe, specially for the elderly. Apart from those, I had a wonderful time! Thank you , till next year!
