We really enjoyed our stay. We checked in after-hours but the process was easy, so was the next day in the reception area and the staff were really friendly. We were surprised at just how big the rooms were and the layout was perfect for us, we were in a 2 bedroom. Kids loved the pool and the added bonus that the pool is heated. We also enjoyed the number of cafes/restaurants in walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

Never again
Paid a large amount for 4 nights in a 2br apartment and expected there to be sufficient supplies for 5 days. But no...they wanted to charge us $3 for a towel when I asked for a clean one on day 3. They do not clean the room at all, or provide any sort of service. They did not leave enough supplies in room to last the 5 days, and when I went to reception to ask for toilet paper at 2pm, there was no one there. There was a number to call if reception is unattended - no one answered. They then expect you to clean the apartment before you leave, and whilst we were rushing around trying to clean the place before check out, they had the audacity to call us at 10:30am to harass us to check out. This place needs to provide proper supplies and service if they want to charge the amount they do. Not happy.
