i enjoyed the harbour view from level 3, it included a pool view. the comfy bed and spacious lounge area added to the room. the air conditioning was good, and i found it close to everything. i appreciated the well thought out space in the apartment!!!
the checkout time at 10:00 am felt too early. i would prefer a slightly later checkout, especially after a long drive.

i found the location lovely with its beautiful view it has. reception desk staff were polite and helpful too. walking distance to businesses and across the road is the beach i also liked it. the hot plunge pools were just the right temperature, a great experience.
some fixtures looked like they needed a sand and paint i noticed. the overall appearance was just a little scruffy and tired, but i would still recommend a stay. the minor wear did not significantly detract from my experience.
