Perfect location and everything you would want from a hotel!
Pros:

Everything! This place really is all about what the name says- Lyf - Live Your Freedom! A social hotel but able to meet your solo traveller lifestyle at the same time.
Washing clothes and drying when you want, 24 hour gym and pool which was perfect!
Breakfast at the Kenny Hills Bakery was superb, with different options on the menu each day, plus a traditional style option too!
The bed was soooo comfortable!
Staff were absolutely incredible and so helpful and polite, couldn’t ask for more!
Location was perfect too, right by the water too for those evening walks and nice sunset view :)
Soo many chill areas in the hotel to relax or unwind with friends.. would stay here again no doubt!

Cons:

Everything was great!

Molto bene
Pros:

Struttura bellissima e soggiorno molto piacevole. Nonostante abbia avuto un problema di forte umidità nella mia stanza la prima notte del soggiorno, la mattina seguente questa su mia richiesta mi è stata sostituita e nella nuova camera assegnatami,con la mia famiglia siamo stati benissimo.
La struttura è grande e pulita e offre diversi servizi.
Nonostante avessi letto recensioni contrastanti sulla colazione, la quale si svolge in una bakery di fronte la struttura, noi abbiamo apprezzato molto la qualità delle materie prime offerte. Certo non bisogna aspettarsi un buffet, si sceglie una portata tra le tre proposte nel menu giornaliero e da bere a scelta caffè o thè al limone.
Una nota di merito va allo staff, e ai ragazzi che si trovano all’ingresso, sempre sorridenti e disponibili,
Sicuramente torneremo

Great concept for a hotel, great location. Rooms are too small.
Pros:

Location was great. Liked the concept of the entire hotel - very trendy and next gen. Liked the whole idea overall.

Cons:

Room was so so tiny, no place to move left or right. Breakfast at the restaurant outside - good idea, but options so limited. Could have kept more options available.
