I would highly recommend Nirvana By The Sea and would definitely stay again on my next visit.
Pros:

Pre-arrival communication was excellent and arriving after hours was easy to negotiate. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Very roomy and comfortable 2-bedroom beach view apartment with huge balcony perfect for breakfast in the sun. The generous sized spa and heated pool were fantastic. The proximity to cafes, restaurants, groceries and beautiful swimming beaches is very good and within easy walking distance. The apartment's kitchen facilities were excellent with well-stocked crockery and appliances. I especially like the gas hob and coffee machine. Very comfortable beds and pillows.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like about the apartment. Just the rainy days.

So happy with everything. We are looking at the calendar right now to pick a date for our return.
Pros:

The size and layout of the rooms were more than expected. Very open and great view off the balcony. Love the kitchen! Easy walk to multiple restaurants and shops. The beach access was just across the street. Parking was secure and easy access to the lifts. Love that the lifts were so fast and spacious. So happy that we are looking at the calendar right now to pick a date for our return.

Cons:

A couple of the led bulbs, one above the kitchen island and one above the dining table were flickering and turning onand off.

Enjoyed getting away with my husband and two of our sons for 3n which we all needed
Pros:

The view, close to a lot of places to eat and great walks. Cleanliness was great. We will be back!

Cons:

Couldn’t smoke on the veranda but I get it. I’ve got so much going on in my life at the moment so I just needed one occasionally and going down at night on my own gave me more anxiety.

All in all it was a lovely experience particularly the view and location.
Pros:

The view was fantastic so as the location, easy walk to shops, cafes etc.

Cons:

The kitchen stools and the dining chairs were unstable, some of which the legs were bent. They should be replaced.
