Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location is very good and the view over the harbour was lovely. We liked that the bathroom separated to two beds so felt more like an apartment. Not enough seating for a potential of 4 guests and the shower flooded onto the bathroom floor. Also the bathroom ceiling needs a paint. Appreciated having restaurant and bar onsite although menu was limited with an Asian influence. Communication at reception could improve as we requested at check in that we pay half each for our stay but, was all charged to the card given on arrival. Overall we highly recommend
