In general speaking, it is good place to stay. But if people can choose open balcony door for the fresh air and won’t af
Pros:

Good location, it is very easy to the swimming pool in the city centre. And good sea view.

Cons:

The air conditioning seems connected with balcony door, if balcony door open a little bit long time, the air conditioning does not work properly, and the room will be quite warm.

A nice stay!
Pros:

The location was great, very central for restaurants, bars and the boardwalk.
The staff were all very friendly.
The room had a good view, and was quiet.
The attached venues were nice (Whiskey & Wine, Boardwalk Social).

Cons:

The smart TV would frequently disconnect mid-stream.
The elevators could be quite slow to arrive and would often not detect the key-card.
It was a bit of a pain having to go down to level 1 via the elevator to refill on water.
The pools were fine enough but didn't love the visibility to the public through the glass wall/floor.

Wonderful Staff
Pros:

Staff were absolutely lovely to deal with. Very helpful with directions and information and just so cheerful.

Cons:

Would have liked little coffee and sugar satchets in room. Supplies provided were great for people not fussy about how they drink coffee but I have really really really weak coffee.
