Local was nice. Room deco was lovely with modern and clean bedding etc.
There was no wifi and the balcony beach side was unable to be used because of renovation. Balcony road side was available but with no view of the beach.

Bed was comfy, unit was quiet and curtains blocked out most light.
Location close to beach is fantastic.
Carpet was lifted in one corner with wet towel under it.
Considering the 2 recent cyclones and local devastation, this is a very minor comment.

Great location but was shocked to find no A/C in the room and also no screens on windows and doors so unable to leave open to get fresh air.
No extraction fan in toilet/bathroom.
