My apartement was very clean and in a excellent condition. It was very quiet during my stay. The mattress was very comfortable and I usually always have back pain. The bathroom was a good size and beautiful. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The balcony was a lovely size. I was very happy with the staff - they were extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The "Lowanna Beach Resort" is very close to the beach and the shopping centre is directly opposite. There is nothing to complain about; on the contrary, it was simply lovely and I'll definitely be back!

Good location. Room smelt like the carpet is a bit musty and needs a good deep clean. Overall room was quite clean though. Checkin process was pretty poor. Website says open until 7pm, but was closed at 5pm and checkin instructions weren't great as to location of room. No sharing of information about amenities of complex or attractions in local area.

This was by far the cleanest most beautiful apartment that we have ever stayed in and we travel for work and leisure a lot. The staff communication was beyond excellent. There was a shopping centre within arms reach and plenty of places for take out or eat in . I would highly recommend this property.
