Needs a deep clean, especially the couch, old soap behind the washing machine...not only 1 but 2. Screen in the bathroom could do with a clean. Always love going, but cleaning could be better.

While these units are in a great location and we enjoyed the spa and sauna we found our unit to be run down, noisy and stuffy. The shower/spa is difficult to get in and out of, we were only given a small handsoap for washing, the air con was broken and no screen on the balcony door (the only way to get air into the room). The glass balcony door was also difficult to slide and took some grunt. One of the pillows for the bed virtually had no filling left. It suits more of a budget guest but asks for higher price. For what we paid I don't think we'll bother rebooking again.
