Great place to stay but be sure to ask for an upper floor apartment
Pros:

Stayed in an apartment on the 16th floor. It was fabulous. The view of the beach and ocean! Very well decorated and it was a relief to have aircon.

Cons:

A lot of construction work going on in the surrounding areas so it can be quite noisy. Didn’t spoil our stay.

Pros:

The location was great. There was a lovely gym and sauna.
The beds and pillows were clean and comfortable
It was great to have laundry facilities

Cons:

The rooms were VERY tired and not clean. The light fittings in the bathroom were very rusty and the amount of dust on the artificial plants was not appealing. The kitchen cupboards and appliances had greasy marks on them and when we wiped up a spill on the floor the handi towel used was black
The whole apartment was below standard for cleanliness
