Bit of a letdown on last night of holiday
Pros:

Location was great, very central to walk to Picton shops and restaurants.
Pool was awesome!

Cons:

I booked too quickly and didn't appreciate the room I was booking was very dated. Felt like stepping back into the 80's. Was a letdown of a last night on holiday when everywhere else we stayed had been so great.
The reception staff were not very welcoming or friendly, didn't tell us anything about facilities, had to workout ourselves how to add our vehicle so we wouldn't get charged, how to find the pool etc. The tiny fridge in the room, didn't have a freezer part that worked, therefore our freezer blocks we'd been travelling with, didn't freeze.

Our neighbours smoked, which then meant we had to shut all our windows and door. Door very hard to slide.
No comfy chairs in room to sit on.
The beds were comfy, however I slept in separate bed due to partner moving, making the entire bed feel like you were going through an earthquake everytime they moved.
For the price we paid, I expected better.
Wouldn't stay again unless is renovated.

Clean, quiet but frustrating
Pros:

Location, clean, quiet

Cons:

Lack of communication between desk staff & kitchen. At evening checkin we arranged & paid for a packed breakfast due to an early taxi pickup. At morning checkout neither desk nor kitchen staff had a clue.

Pros:

Tolle Lage - sehr großzügiges Appartment.

Cons:

3. Stock - es gibt zwar einen Fahrstuhl , der aber weit weg vom Appartement ist. Wenn man dann am Appartement angekommen ist, muss man nochmal 16 Stufen hoch. Wenn man dann mit seinem Gepäck oben ist, ist es traumhaft.

Average resort, Location good
Pros:

Location good, room size good. Beds terrible

Cons:

Two singles pushed together to make a Queen. Both single beds completely miss aligned one well over used with a huge dip and the other hard and firm above the other. Made for an extremely uncomfortable sleep and sore body the next day. No bath mats so floor slippery when you get out of the shower.
