expensive cocktailincorrect coffee
The cocktails here were quite expensive. My glass was only half full, and the drink disappeared in just a couple of sips. I also had some issues with breakfast. I ordered a flat white, but received a cappuccino. It seems simple coffee orders can be a challenge here.

fantastic accommodation!

perfect locationsecure parkingspacious roomseparate bathrooms
the location was perfect! secure parking added an extra layer of convenience. i found the rooms easily accommodated my entire family. the apartment even featured two separate bathrooms which worked wonders when we were traveling together as a group.
The minibar was completely full of drinks. I would have liked to have had some space for my own things.

underwhelming stay

decent locationno air conditioningfrequent complaint
the location was decent, and the room seemed reasonably maintained.
My two-bedroom apartment water view was far from luxurious at $619 per night. there was no air conditioning or even fans in the bedrooms. This made sleeping pretty uncomfortable, like being in a sauna. i told the staff about it the next morning, they said it's a frequent complaint about those rooms. This is not very helpful to me.
