Excellent value for a family
Pros:

Clean, great location, excellent communication with the host.

Cons:

Slightly small for our growing family of 5, but it was the largest we could find without having to rent a bigger house.

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable but smelt like mould.
Pros:

Central and close. Comfortable beds

Cons:

Smelt like mould. The shower ceiling fan has stopped working and I think this is why.

Pros:

Loved the location, the facilities were great and the rooms were nice.

Cons:

I don't ever complain about anything but the sound proofing between the rooms was terrible.
We stayed 3 nights and all 3 nights had very minimal sleep. First night the neighbour was snooring so loud, and the next 2 nights some very obnoxious neighbour's crashing around and talking very loudly until 2am in the morning. Not a very good design having the beds share the same wall with no kind of soundproofing in between.

Ok for a couple of nights and for families.
Pros:

Small property a short walk to beach and main Street. Rooms off a pool area sharing kitchen and seating.

Cons:

Photos do not really give the full idea, rooms in a row along a walkway next to the pool. The sofa bed was not as good as expected and not really suitable for adults.
The shower head needed replacing urgently, not functioning properly.

Great location, however needs more attention to detail
Pros:

The location was quiet and a short flat walk to the main Esplanade along the beach front. The pool was lovely and the water clean. The bed was super comfy with pleasant linen and great pillows.

Cons:

In our particular unit there was not great hanging space for towels for drying etc. Our unit was also 1 of 2 downstairs and was quite dark due to the large trees ( beautiful as they are). We needed the light on during the day when we were there.
The crockery and cutlery was scant as the past guests must have used the common kitchen area and didn't return the items to our unit kitchenette. This wasn't sorted before we checked in. Minor issue, however worth noting. All basic condiments we thought would be in our unit weren't so we needed to borrow them from the common area.

Room to close to common area
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and the unit was very clean

Cons:

Our unit had the common area and laundry directly in front of it. When people had breakfast/dinner/drinks or did their laundry we knew about it. We could not open our curtains as it looked directly onto this area, it was like it was our area, but everyone else could use it too. The walls were very thin, we could hear exactly what the person next door was watching. It is a shame this is the set up, because the actual room was very nice.

Mauvais et en colère d'avoir "gagné" la mauvaise chambre.
Pros:

la chambre très bien équipée

Cons:

Nous avons eu la seule chambre qui était dans la buanderie et la salle à manger commune. Donc, au vu de ceux qui venaient dans la cuisine. Toute la soirée et une partie de la nuit, puis au réveil le matin, le bruit des machines à laver le linge + vaisselle + séchoir.
De plus, malchance, avec une famille avec 3 enfants à coté nous entendions toutes leur conversations. Très mauvaise isolation. Cela a gâché notre séjour, nous voulions rester plus mais sommes partis dans un autre établissement. Et un mensonge sur les places de parking inexistantes.

A pleasant surprise, excellent value
Pros:

Such great value for money, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the accommodation was after the price I paid, compared to elsewhere. Clean, modern, and all the facilities you could ask for.

Cons:

My room entrance opened directly on to the communal kitchen area, so I felt I had to keep the only curtains/blinds closed the entire time for privacy. I'm still happy I stayed here - I just prefer more privacy without having to block the only source of natural light :)

Highly recommend, comfortable and modern
Pros:

everything was very new clean modern vibes. the outdoor kitchen was lovely, overlooking the pool. There is free laundry available in the kitchen as well! Host was responsive and helpful. Everything was amazing.

Cons:

Everything was great! Parking on the grass may have been a bit too big of a curb for the car but we drove onto it through the sidewalk entrance so was all good:)

Best place we have stayed in a month of travelling and amazing value for money
Pros:

Everything and more you could want in an apartment and got our washing done for free

Cons:

Only minor criticism would be the pool was a bit warm and only two sun loungers
