Pros:

Very spacious, clean and tidy. Indoor pool was excellent when the wind made the beach to cold. Beach right across the road. Cafe on street level was wonderful.

Cons:

No aircon or ensuite in the main bedroom . Underground car parking height allowance was too low for a Wildtrack so had to park on the street.
