Great location average lodgings
Best thing about this property is the location. It’s very rundown. Shower is shocking goes from cold to boiling hot every couple of mins. Not that clean lots of dust on skirting boards and lots on ornament on table. Just ok, I have frequented Aruba properties on the Gold Coast and this one is by far the worst.

It was easy to get there and close to where we needed to be. A but shabby in the unit. On the plus side, the shower was good, the bed reasonably comfortable and the area was quiet for the time we were there.

Great location within easy access to everything we needed.
The only downside was caused by inconsiderate tenants who continually allowed security and apartment doors to slam shut whenever accessing the property

My stay.
The unit was very clean and comfortable. However I noticed a hole in the ceiling where a fire alarm once was and also a spit in the fabric on the lounge. The grounds were well kept as was the pool area. Check in and check out was quick and easy.

This property is very tired and needs makeover asked about rubbish removal or getting something once it runs out and was told no service for the week and take your own rubbish out. Then some backpacker arrived at door wanting to change sheets??? Would not stay here again to old and very Noisy
