Highly recommended. Friendly and helpful team. The room looks over the lake and is well designed to make the most of the sunsets. Just note that it sits on a geothermal area, so you have a hot water springs and beach right in front. For winter, get the ground floor unit because it is like permanent underfloor heating! For summer, get a upper floor as it gets too warm at times on the ground.

Fabulous position with stunning lake view. Enjoyed the hot tub, full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, comfy lounge with plenty of seating for relaxing and dining. I wouldn’t rate the property itself as luxury 5 star however, as it needs some maintenance and updating, especially in bathrooms.

Lets start with the positive. The location is amazing, with easy access to the waterfront walkway. The service from Bernie and the cleaning team was great. Unfortunately the unit itself let the rating down. It was very tired looking, with stained carpet and marked walls in dire need of a repaint. The furniture was also worn and needed replacement. If you stay here, avoid unit 9 and head for the lake front units which look to be in much better condition. I would go back, but wouldnt stay in that unit.

Disappointing
The position of the apartment is amazing and it is incredibly well equipped, however we had a major in the fact we couldn't use the outside terrace area in the daytime because the sunshades had been damaged, this meant the children couldn't go outside and use the hot.tub as it was just too hot. If.we had been informed in advance we could have made other plans. We we're even informed at check-in about the issie, it was only when we tried.to close the blinds and called reception that they told us the blinds were broken. We weren't even offered a rebate on the cost.
