Well positioned, easy walk to beach, cafes, restaurants. Pool is huge, late check in process was smooth/well communicated. The "2 bed" apartment itself was small and tired, one shower head not working, holes in walls, lighting not working. Disappointed to pay $40/night extra for a rollaway bed that didn't come with a blanket or towel and wasn't even set up. Overpriced overall for what it is.

Really liked out stay here - we booked 3 rooms and the 2 with pool views were fab. A couple of minor things - pool is not at all heated - which means despite it being amazing looking it was pretty cold and the two kids with us could barely use it. The spa however was great and the bbq area also great! My parents have mobility issues so I should have mentioned this when booking as the corridors can be really long depending on your location. Location to beach and all the shops was great

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment that was modern and clean. The units are very quiet unless you are on the versndah you hear the noise from people at the pool. The hallways have stained carpet from water damage . Staff were excellent and very helpful. We would stay again.

I was there for a long weekend break. The property was a little tired and worn. Dirty, stained carpets. Corridors smelling of cigarette smoke, covers falling off windows. It needs a good overhaul.

Gym closed at 9pm. Security guy rude , was hurried out of gym. Left phone on exercise bike.. Literally didn't make it to lift , halway down corrider , and realised phone left in gym,hadn't even been 2 minutes.Guy no where to be found. Reception unattended, rang contact number,staff member had no idea of who Security firm was, and could not identify who may have been working to contact to get gym unlocked.Advised only was to retrive phone was to pay a "call out fee " which I refused,effectively holding my phone to ransom. and subsequently, spent the rest of the night quite anxious.Needless to say i was the first person to the gym , and relieved phone was still there. A truly rotten experience!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buildings are old and in need of a fit out. One elevator for our building meant that my diabled guest had to walk long distances which caused her a lot of pain. Everything else was great. Excellent food and diningboptions all very close toour accommodation.

Booked drift for a 4 night getaway, booked a two bedroom apartment, I thought! Walked into a 1 bedroom with annexe, the annexe had no wardrobe, side tables, no power points to charge tech, divided by glass doors and shutters so no privacy, especially if the other person was up later with lights on. The apartment face the street and carpark very noisy, the room light up like daylight during the evening due to very bright street, carpark and venue lighting making sleeping near impossible. The resort is tired and needs some TLC. Arrived at venue and no-one sent locked box instructions had to ring to get them after they said they would e-mail. Have stayed at other resorts for the same price with much better offerings. Disappointed

Some trees overhanging the pool seemed dangerous and unkempt. We saw a branch break and hit a women on the shoulder as she was holding her baby with her other arm. It was dangerous and we spoke to management. We have stayed here previously and the pool is lovely but very shaded as the trees are so large and overhang the pool. Therefore it's very cold.
