We had a lovely stay here. Apartment was dated but still in reasonable condition. The 2 bed apartments are not along the beach, but set along the back of the block facing Moore street. Beach access is a short walk along some stairs. I think we were the only hotel apartment in the building, others were all living in the building. This meant we were pretty much the only ones using the pool.

On arrival the keys to my allocated room could not be found. The afterhours manager was verbally unpleasant. He provided the cleaners key but was unconcerned about security of my stay not knowing who may have access to the room with lost keys. When I politely asked him about security he suggested I find a room elsewhere!! This of course was not possible on a Saturday evening.

If you want a quiet well apponted 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the Coral sea (through palm trees) where the surf life saver part of the beach is literally 40 paces from the front of the property with all the facilities you need, and well serviced by Gerald and his attentive team you will not be disappointed. If you need to have really fast streaming by wifi and superb Telstra mobile connectivity you've clearly not come for a super relaxing heaven sent holiday. Any reasonable person will be extremely satisfied.

Apart from the poor communication, we had a great stay. Lovely spot overlooking the beach. Would definitely stay here again.
