Very nice resort and at a walkable distance to all restaurants and the marina. The only little thing is the room they gave us was with two single beds put side by side instead of a king bed as I had booked.

Awesome Accomodation!

The "self-service" aspect of the accomodation was totally fine because our room did not require daily cleaning & re-stocking with supplies. The kitchen was an added bonus.

extremely clean and kept up

Although the studio was small, no cupboards to put our clothes in, it was exceptionally clean and bright. The balcony overlooked the pool and it was private

Liked: Cleanliness

Good, not Great

The hotel had all of the amenities, fridge, washer/dryer, utensils etc. & a great location half way between 4 mile beach and town center. We were there off season (January), so nothing going on. Nobody in the pool (too warm), Staff & reception only around 9:00-3:00. Probably much better in July. Hotel is showing its age. Mattress was past “plush” appearance dated. Internet was weak, that may have been due to the weather

Outstanding property. Self contained unit where you can prep breakfast or an easy dinner if you don’t want to eat out every meal. Two great pools that are really quiet and peaceful. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Lovely, helpful staff too. Really close to the Main Street (Macrossan St) with all dining/shopping within a 5 minute walk. Loved it, we’ll be back
