棕櫚灣熱帶公寓

Stayed here for one week. Location is perfect. Down a side street 200 metres from the beach. Mini supermarket less than 100 metres away. Very quiet, unlike the busy beachfront establishments. Lovely heated pool in a lush environment. Apartments are discreetly designed to have a private balcony table and chairs. The buildings are 30 years old and need some TLC. We had apartment 208 which has recently been sold, so hopefully basic renovations will be forthcoming. The front door squeaks like entering a dungeon. Oil on the hinges will fix that. The rollers on the sliding doors to the balcony need rollers replaced…they are difficult to open. A simple fix. The bathroom door is swelling at the base. Looks unsightly, but works fine. Simple things would make the apartment so much nicer. Everything else works fine…a home away from home. Every thing is there, just bring your toothbrush. TV A/C, ceiling fans, iron, medium sized fridge The setting is beautiful. Secure underground parking is also a bonus. Communication with management is another major problem. If the office is unattended…which is often, there is no way to contact anyone, only an emergency number. If you arrive at a time around 2pm when the office is unattended, the notice board may have your apartment key in a brown envelope attached. This should be communicated by email….which was promised to me…. I am still waiting!!! Fortunately a passing guest showed me the ‘ropes’. Aside from the above dramas…. love the place!!

Really enjoyed my stay here. The place is just off the main esplanade so you can get away from the street activity and noise. Nice and spotlessly clean, the apartment has all you need. Washing machine, dryer, aircon and Netflix. The only thing missing was an expresso machine. Will defiantly be back.
