Pros:

The gentleman at the office was fantastic. The pools were great and the location was perfect for a family vacation

Cons:

The apartment really needed to be cleaned unfortunately it was not good . We had to go out and buy cleaning things . Not sure who they use as a cleaner but it was really bad . The place was great but the facilities could have been better . I did take photos as soon as we got in . There was alot of hair in the drains .the floors had not be mopped at all . There was broken bed pieces under the beds full of dust . The dishwasher did not work at all . The washing machine was full of black sludge we had to clean it .I just wasn't expecting to clean the apartment when we got in .

Pros:

Great location, pool and spa great

Cons:

Directly under plan flight path so can be loud a couple of times each hour as plams come in to land. Fortunately last flights are around 10pm and first is around 6am so not disruptive to sleep.

Pros:

Fantastic stay at the Sanctuary Lake apartments.
Location great.
Pool area beautiful.

Cons:

The only downside for me was contact/communication.
It was hard to speak to someone over the phone, and all my emails were ignored.

It meant my check in process (early hours) was a little stressful.
In the end, it worked out ok, but an email response detailing how I gain access after midnight would have been extremely helpful.

good location but needs a spruce up
Pros:

The location was perfect. Close to beach and easy to find. Outlook on to pool with really nice gardens. It felt relaxing. Apartment was spacious and pretty quiet (couldn't hear neighbours and no traffic noise other than planes). Having our own carpark was good also.

Cons:

Wasn't a good start with no one at reception and the number on the door didn't work. Finally got through by using the number of the website. Didn't realise we had to lug our suitcases up the stairs (no lift) but we are fit so not a big deal. Apartment was very dated and needs quite a bit of basic maintenance, which we intend to email owners directly about. A freshen up would make a big difference.

Room was great location and everything was close by and a great location.

Cons:

Room was run down a little. Maintenance on items in shower and bathrooms. Room was a little under. There was little privacy in main areas as curtains were see through.

Location, pool, parking, safety all great!
Pros:

Location to everything. Pool is lovely.

Cons:

No one at desk day after day. I know it was a holiday and all but we had no toilet paper after day 2. I emailed with no response, every day we would see mail packages piling up at office door. Kind of odd not to have at least email/messaging response system when no one can be present. May need to add back up if needed.
