We stayed in a 3 bedroom oceanview on level 3 and it was perfect. Staff greeted us well and were friendly, the rooms were clean, tidy, comfortable and the view was amazing. Their was a slight unpleasant smell (kind of like a wet dog) when we first entered but could be the age of the building or other factors (maybe carpets could do with a refresh) but once we had the balcony door open and over the next couple of days it didn't bother us at all. There was a wifi connection issue to the TV. In our room it worked for the first day then was buffering alot the next day but in another room of a relatives, it didn't work at all. Otherwise, we had a delightful stay and even wanted to extend our stay by a day but sadly it was all booked out. We will surely return and stay here again.
