A Great Quiet Get Away
Pros:

Stayed 6 days at Belair. The staff helps u to feel right at home.
The hotel itself is a little more dated than what I prefer, however the cleanliness and staff made it worth staying.
They have a very small market stocked with every last minute item u can think of.
The vendors introduced at the orientation were helpful on providing optios to consider for your stay within the hotel and out in the city.
The Gingerbread Cafe is pretty laid back and very good for that night-time libation if needed. Menu and food provided "something to eat" when u just don't feel like going out.
The beach is beautiful! Nice and quiet for those times to just sit back and chillax.
It seems to attract guests 50+ who would rather not have all the noise and partying.

Cons:

It's a bit far from the night action if that's what you're thinking of doing.
Always ask before hand if there is a cost for the classes that are offered. More transparency is needed in that area.

Overall clean and spacious and good value - not enough activities and dining not impressive.
Pros:

The apartment was very spacious and very clean - great view of the beach and overall comfortable. The service was inconsistent and depended on who was on duty - some were very friendly - others not so much. Very few activities and the dining was limited. Great location and housekeeping was exceptional - excellent value for money for the space. Room amenities were very very good - AC, internet, hot water, towels, bedding etc all excellent and spotless.

Cons:

The small onsite "shop" was not open as per the advertised hours and doesn't have a wide variety. Dining and service was inconsistent from day to day - today might be great and then tomorrow....not great. Someone was singing very offkey when we were attempting to enjoy a nice quiet breakfast :)

Quiet stay
Pros:

Location was easy to get to with ample parking. Lots of space in the unit with everything you need, including in the kitchen. Clean and perfect for my needs.

Cons:

I inquired at the time of booking to pay for a late check out. They told me to ask when I arrived. When I asked upon arrival and offered to pay, they told me to come back the next morning at 8am when the manager was in to ask. Manager did not arrive until after 9am and they would not accommodate the request. Was hoping there was a way to pay for additional time at first instance to avoid a situation like this as I was looking for an additional 2 hours at the property after check out.

Stunning views and wonderful restaurant but not worth an overnight stay
Pros:

The physical location was beautiful with stunning views, the adjacent restaurant The Gingerbread House definitely the star with incredibly warm staff, entertaining evenings and good food. Front office staff careless with billing and overcharged us over $400 which was resolved but caused stress during our holiday. The hotel was without water for a day, of which we were not notified due to clerical mistake which left us quite stressed as well.

Cons:

The air conditioning old and very noisy, rooms and hotel needs desperate updating. Beds and pillows horribly uncomfortable. Cleanliness not up to par.
