We stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment for 3 nights and faced multiple issues in a short stay— a broken dryer, flooded bathroom from a blocked drain, power tripping with the microwave, and aircon in bedroom not working. While maintenance problems can happen, the real disappointment was the rude and dismissive attitude of the Hotel Manager, Emma. Poor facilities are frustrating, but bad management is inexcusable. I would NOT recommend staying here.

Most importantly this is not a hotel, it is an apartment building.
We paid a lot during an event, and were severely disappointed at service and ammenties. There was no one for reception for check in, no visitor parking bays, and we were provided a single building key. The room was missing soap in one bathroom and had a broken towel rack. The pool area is small and uninviting.

Very pleased with the apartment. All the amenities that you need for a comfortable stay, although the clothes dryer was very noisy and the pool & BBQ area is very underwhelming. Reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. Excellent location in the heart of everything.

Amazing apartment I street back from the ocean. Lota of cafes and places to eat downstairs and a few minutes walk. Reception was amazing and staff were very helpful and organised a late check out for us free of charge. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. Beds were very comfortable. We were allocated 1 parking bay. The only strange thing was the position of the toilet in the ensuite bathroom. It was position facing a wall which gave limited space. We are of average height but would not of been good if you were tall. The main bathroom was fine.

We absolutely loved our stay at First Light. It is situated at a perfect place, within walking distance to shopping area, restaurants, beach and supermarket. We also had the perfect room which looked straight out over the beach. Would definitely stay here again

This hotel is a coastal gem, perfectly situated just one block from the beach and esplanade, offering glimpses of the ocean while being close to all shops. It was a peaceful stay, free from the noise of the bustling beachfront, yet provides easy access to the beach and vibrant atmosphere. Very clean and supplied with all essentials for families. It has a kitchen which made it great for breakfast with kids whilst enjoying the sound of the waves crashing. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable beach getaway.

WiFi did not work. So the TV did not work. Not great for staying with children

Great location.
Great location and walking distance to all restaurants, shops and beach. Spacious apartment with balcony and was well equipped.
We had a few issues with a terrible smell coming up from drains in bathrooms- reported it to reception and they sent someone to fix that day, however after 24hrs, the smell came back. We also had issues with getting the tv to work, again reported to reception and they fixed, but we were unable to get any local channels the entire stay. Cleaning could have been better, pistachio nut under bed on arrival and fluff on floor. Also found that doors were a little grotty and mirrors still had finger prints on them. There is no servicing to apartment, so if you have a longer stay, you will need to wash your towels.
