Okay but disappointed with Pool and Spa.
Pros:

Nice Location handy to Surf Club.

Cons:

Pool and Spa definitely need attention the flooring in the Pool and Spa looked terrible and tiles and edge of Pool were dirty, which should be repaired. Not inviting and not like the photos. I am surprised the owner/occupiers of this building are not having their facilities repaired.
