Our apartment was absolutely beautiful with a kitchenette, washing machine, very comfortable bed, balcony with ocean views, quiet and right on the Esplanade metres from restaurants and in easy walking distance to the Marina. Staff were very helpful and access afterhours was made very safe and easy. We certainly would want to stay there again.

The spa bath was no longer in working order, which we didn't mind, but using it as a shower presented a significant mobility challenge. Having to balance on one leg while climbing over the high tub edge to get in - and doing the same in reverse to get out felt quite unsafe for us at our age. Hopefully management can look into safer alternatives for future guests.

It was in a perfect position to just have a short walk anywhere. As a bonus we got upgraded as well.
