For a brand new property their was a lot of builders defects plus intercom was smashed and not working. Could only get 1 key. Unit was very loud as situated over the pool area with a lot of concrete and other guests were using the facilities after pool hours. Unit wasn't cleaned to a professional standard, things were still left in the dishwasher??? Housekeeping definitely needs training. Staff just walked straight into our room without knocking on the door. I would stay at the property again but not in this room type. I think it was expensive for the fact it is still a semi-building site! Location was excellent and in close proximity to Kawana Sporting Complex.

The apartment was lovely, great location and nice and new. Our only gripe was we checked in late which we had advised reception of, there were no instructions as to how to access our apartment, some residents told us to try the stairs which we did discovering the only way back out was down through reception. My husband called to be told that all the information should have been in an envelope with our key (there was nothing else). Once we found the room almost 45 minutes later, there were no towels in our room (there were 2 towels in the 2nd bedroom but none in the main bedroom). Not a big deal but just annoying when you have paid for something and there is no attention to detail.
