Four of us stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment for 3 nights in April for my 30th birthday and were blown away by the fantastic location, apartment size and hospitality of our host Amisha. The view from our huge balcony was perfect as we could see the waves crash on the beach and the ocean which went out for miles.... More

We are staying here for 10 months. The location is excellent - 400 metres from the main strip (Cavill Avenue) and only 100 metres from the beach. The complex has a new manager and she is steadily making improvements to the place. New cleaners have been contracted and the foyer now looks smarter. The basement car park is in the... More

My family & I stayed for a week in a nicely appointed 2 bedroom apartment over looking the pool with views to the sea. We enjoyed our stay the apartment was clean & in excellent condition, staff were very helpful & accommodating. Have already booked for next year happy to recommend this property!

Dirty, mismatched furniture, very old and terribly maintained. The website is very deceptive as this place looks nothing like what they describe. Broken air conditioner and lights that don't work. Only advantage is that it is close to everything.

Dear Judy, I am sorry that you were not happy with the quality of the apartment. I do believe the Aircon was working in the unit that was allocated to you. Also the lights weren't broken they needed new bulbs which I did as soon as you advised me of that. You did make a booking on the late evening... More

This place was filthy! Dirty furniture, broken mismatched crockery. The rangehood and oven didnt work. The outdated electric stove still had other peoples food splashed around it and on it so it burned when turned on. Light globe missing in lamp- exposed socket. Two of us nearly broke our toe walking into bathroom on the inch high step. We had... More

We had a lovely 3 week stay at the Carlton Apartments, really enjoyed the closeness to the beach and shops without the excessive noise factor. The apartment was a good size and recently renovated and although it had air conditioning we were able to open the patio doors to get the benefit of the sea breeze. We were able to... More
