Lovely staff, plenty of space in our cabin. Amenities in cabin were good. Lovely decking area with bbq. The place in general needed a little tlc, but we got the cabin for a good price as we were passing through.

Bayview Tower
The room was very clean and well appointed. The elevator was quick. We never waited for long. The breakfast was excellent and sustained us for much of the day. The location was superb. The beach was in front and a good selection of bars and eateries were all within walking distance.
