Nice to have the additional space in the apartment and a good kitchen, covered parking too. Very close to the water. Enjoyed the bats at night!! Bedrooms did not have AC but had fans, so ok. Fans in bathrooms didn’t seem to work. AC in main area was great but condenser unit was on balcony so was hard to keep apartment cool and enjoy the balcony.

Beautiful water view's very relaxing. Just a few problems, needs to have the unit fumigated. Lots of very tiny ants & cockies. Also had to rewash all crockery, Cutlery and glasses as they were dirty.

The outlook of the ocean, the immediate access to the beach, the close proximity to the lap pool, the peace and quiet, the short walk (20 mins) to the long, Urangan pier and shops, the large area of kitchen/lounge and bedroom.

Liked: Communication
The staff were friendly and helpful. The view of the water from our apartment was AMAZING! The accommodation is rundown and could do with an upgrade. There was no aircon upstairs in the master bedroom, thank goodness for the sea breeze! It was disappointing that there was no wifi for guests. The lagoon pool was a let down as it's out the back near the carpark, however, the lap pool was great. There is no games room, so don't be fooled by the picture on wotif. The room just had books in it.

So close to beach. Unfortunately loud neighbours moved in after a couple nights one floor above. I'm not use to communal living so found that difficult
