Great Pool!

“The pool at Waterfront Terraces is simply fantastic! It's more spacious than most pools I've encountered, surrounded by beautiful foliage which makes it feel private and serene. I especially appreciated how easy it was to access from my apartment, especially for my older relatives. The pool area was perfect for lounging and relaxing after a long day of exploring.” view full review
