9.6/10 Exceptional! (55 reviews)

The apartment was great. Roomy, clean and very comfortable. All you needed to cook a simple meal. Good coffee at the Bakery across the road. Bit of a hike to a supermarket as the fine Foods store is pretty pricey.

8.6/10 Excellent! (999 reviews)

The pool is amazing, it has a sandy beach at one end and is huge with a swim up bar. Unfortunately we could not swim off the real beach just in front of the hotel as it was rainy season and there is a risk of salty crocodiles and box jelly fish. The casino is huge and a bit off putting. Most rooms are pretty basic but we were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine, which was most welcome. The rooms around the big pool are really great
