Great view but very noisy.
Pros:

Fantastic view from unit at the front.

Cons:

Extremely noisy. Our room was at the front on the main road and next to the driveway to the complex. Tour buses, taxis and cars arriving at all hours, tour groups congregating outside our bedroom window, 24 hr gym downstairs with a door that slams every time someone goes in or out. Came away from a 3 night stay very tired. Asked to change rooms to one without the view but they said they were booked out.
