Pros:

Loved our apartment. Spacious. Very comfortable bed. View overlooking pool was lovely..

Cons:

We were in 2nd floor and there was a function on level 1 one night. I know the music only went to 10pm but, if I wanted to get up super early for something, there was no way we could of slept, the music was so loud in our room above. Seems to be no insulation at all to reduce sound.
