Cons:

Kitchen could have better lighting for cooking

Overall a lovely stay. Booking was easy, reception staff were super friendly and accommodating Overlooking bay and Mar
Pros:

The lovely lady in reception gave us an upstairs 3 bedroom apartment. It was on the corner so overlooked the bay and marina. Lovely view. Comfy beds and couches. All amenities were clean and well kept. Great showers with good pressure. And great size bathrooms with nice accessories, ie shampoo etc. Thanx we had a lovely time.

Cons:

There’s a rooftop area that came with the apartment, just a shame it’s a bit run down.
