Cons:

Bed in main bed was hard. Also no air in bedrooms, so they were really hot even with the fans.

Had an awesome 2 night stay.
Pros:

Perfect Location for rainy weather when we were able to walk for meals undercover . Close to beach, shops and entertainment. Helen was a very lovely and friendly host, we felt right at home x

Cons:

The only thing that I wish was different would be the level of our room, only one floor above the pool on level 3 so we had the shade sail in our view which kind of took away from our ocean view 🙂

Great place to stay to be central to everything.
Pros:

The view and location. It was bright and fresh looking inside with comfortable beds and a great balcony.

Cons:

The television was extremely frustrating. Hard to select free to air channels. Tiles in bathrooms very slippery when wet. It would be nice to have basics like salt, pepper, oil available.

Great location with a lovely sea view and a very clean apartment.
Pros:

The location and its cleanliness. That the description on the website was accurate. The managers were very helpful and informative.

Cons:

That the pool was located in the next apartment building - Malibu Apartments. That the apartment wasn’t in the Malibu apartment building.
