Everything nice specially stuff
What could be improved: Nothing
Great stay like home to home, will definitely return.
Great location, close to the Creek so can get the metro easily and close to the festival city mall. They offer a free shuttle which was great, we used daily the driver on the AM shift Samir was so lovely, very friendly and chatty!
The room was perfect, everything we needed. The house keeping staff were attentive and able to help with additional items requested for example clothes airer. The kitchen comes with limited items so bring anything specific you need for cooking. The house keeping staff would turn dishwasher on daily which helped.
Great little supermarket at the bottom with absolutely everything you need!
The reception staff were fab including Mynt, Alesa.
The views are much better on the creek side, although we had a city view so was over looking car dealership we were not bothered as we went out for evening walks.
The swimming pools are ok, there is no outdoor kids pool, only indoor. Due to the extreme weather we only used the pool after 3/4pm once it was shaded, this didn’t bother us as it was quiet so always got sun loungers. Great gym facilities again not overly busy.
What could be improved: Could have better swimming pools for kids and more shades spots for the morning.
Great place with a modest restaurant
Everything except the restaurant
What could be improved: The restaurant has limited options, and an open buffet is only for breakfast. Plus, a half board option is not valuable because of providing limited maincourse meals with additional only one item of dessert or starter.
A lovely stay in a lovely property with wonderful staff.
Everything was excellent. Breakfast is very good, a great range of foods to choose from. Our two bedroom waterfront apartment was very well appointed. It was so nice to have the extra space but also to have the facilities to do things as if we were at home. The Residence is very well located on the river and a nice walk to the Festival city mall.
What could be improved: I don't have anything that I was not satisfied with.
