The apartment was recently updated and very clean. I found the beds to be comfy. Its location suited my needs well. The beach is a 10-minute walk, and there is an excellent supermarket only 15 minutes away (Massey Stores). This apartment complex is a hidden gem and I will come again.

the pool lacked privacy, so i often went to explore local spots instead. it limited relaxation at the hotel. the pool needed more secluded areas.

taxi situationrundown area
The taxi situation was unacceptable. I arranged a taxi via reception. The driver then tried to charge almost double the agreed fare. The hotel did not accept responsibility for the miscommunication. They did not mediate. This left me to resolve the issue myself. I also disliked the proximity to a less desirable area. The walk to Holetown passed through what I can only describe as a rundown area.
