The apartment was beautiful and spacious it was also very clean. We loved everything except for us a big reason why we wouldn’t rebook is there was no aircon in bedroom two and three in the three bedroom apartment and they were uncomfortably hot. Such a shame for a property of this high standard

For a brand new property their was a lot of builders defects plus intercom was smashed and not working. Could only get 1 key. Unit was very loud as situated over the pool area with a lot of concrete and other guests were using the facilities after pool hours. Unit wasn't cleaned to a professional standard, things were still left in the dishwasher??? Housekeeping definitely needs training. Staff just walked straight into our room without knocking on the door. I would stay at the property again but not in this room type. I think it was expensive for the fact it is still a semi-building site! Location was excellent and in close proximity to Kawana Sporting Complex.

The apartment was lovely, great location and nice and new. Our only gripe was we checked in late which we had advised reception of, there were no instructions as to how to access our apartment, some residents told us to try the stairs which we did discovering the only way back out was down through reception. My husband called to be told that all the information should have been in an envelope with our key (there was nothing else). Once we found the room almost 45 minutes later, there were no towels in our room (there were 2 towels in the 2nd bedroom but none in the main bedroom). Not a big deal but just annoying when you have paid for something and there is no attention to detail.

App.2305 A hat AUSSICHT NUR AUF BETONWÄNDE. Kein Himmel. Ein Kerker mit Lichtschacht. Das Echo vom Pool hallt zwischen den Betonwänden SEHR LAUT. Vis a Vis sind Geräteräume mit grellem Scheinwerferlicht. Dieses grelle Licht ging die ganze Nacht an und aus. Daher mussten wir die kleinen Schiessschartenartigen Fenster vom Schlafzimmer mit der Rollo auch noch schließen. INTERNET HAT SO GUT WIE NIE FUNKTIONIERT. KEINE FLIEGENGITTER ! KEIN SAFE ! Wir ware über Silvester eine ganze Woche in dieser Gruft und konnten nicht wechseln weil rundum alles ausgebucht war. Expedia hat Bilder mit Balkon und Aussicht (egal wohin!!!) bei diesem Appartment abgebildet. Die Rezeption hat gesagt es gibt auch solche aber für uns ist keines frei. Eine absolute Frechheit. Es gibt nur einen Aufzug und daher lange Wartezeiten. Parkplätze für ein neues Gebäude viel zu klein. Wir haben € 238,-- pro Nacht bezahlt und werden rechtliche Schritte einleiten sobald wir wieder zuhause sind. Das einzige Positive an dieser Unterkunft ist, dass alles noch ganz neu und sauber ist. Und die Dusche MIT HANDBRAUSE IST GUT. Gehen sie dort NICHT HIN, WENN SIE NICHT GARANTIERT EIN APPARTMENT MIT AUSBLICK INS FREIE BEKOMMEN !
