Our apartment was fantastic overlooking the Indian Ocean on 17th floor. Asked to be moved from 5th floor as there was no view, which they accommodated quickly. Fantastic breakfast. We will come back!

Convenient location to shopping, beach and restaurants. Rate was outstanding. The lifts at the center of the hotel to our floor was closed off. This was inconvenient. Parking is undercover and great.
