All we listened to was motorbikes dragging along the strip all night. When we tried to move, management blew us off. Next, we discovered that our room had no electricity. Then no TV. Most calls to reception were ignored. The family in 1302 made so much noise they could have powered the entire building with their energy. I've been screwed before, but never this hard.

Breakfast for instance - was a little underwhelming with the choices. Housekeeping was a hit or miss. Also, parking was horrible to accommodate a property this large. But onto the positives - views from the balcony are breathtaking. You can see the beach and the sunset/rise - million dollar views. Staff is nice - they also have a coffee shop/eatery downstairs that serves decent coffee and cocktails. Also the decor is lovely inside.

We entered after checking in and drove around for 20 mins or more waiting for a spot, you have to follow people leaving the shops to their cars to get their spot. It's also very tight and cramped, a few times I had to reverse as too narrow dead ends for three point turns. Other guests were doing the same. Dented and scratched my car on a tight turn - my fault of course but don't bring a large SUV / car. Smoking is not allowed on balconies, however our balcony had used cigarette butts littering it from previous occupants. Supposed to be able to cast from devices to TV but it didn't work (code on TV rejected). Room okay otherwise, beds comfortable. Pool is okay for adults don't recommend for kids. We went for a swim at about 4pm after arrival and the spa was full of adults drinking alcohol (it's a licensed premises). Sign states no glass drink containers yet they had glass bottles. Sign says no jumping from spa to pool,but kids (and one parent!) were doing it anyway. Needs maybe a fence along edge of spa, one where adults in spa can still supervise through. Exterior looks a bit run down. Lifts are odd, to go from room to car park you take lift to lobby level then change lifts to go down one more level. Buffet breakfast was good. We'd originally booked this as a family of four under my husbands name. He became ill so we postponed our stay and were given credit. Later he passed away. I called to rebook for us three and it had to stay booked in his name, but was assured a note was made in the system that I would be checking in and why. When checking in the staff said the names were different so I explained. He checked and then said there was a note saying yes, I was checking in, and not to ask why. Then he wanted to charge for the room, and I had to get him to check again so he could see the credit. He apologised and I get it, I just really didn't want to be in the lobby explaining my husband was dead...again.
