Getaway at Victor
We did enjoy our stay. However the property is more suited to family stays than 2 couples, mainly because the second 'bathroom' facility is located outside, and not entirely adequate. Also there is no designated parking area for a second car, and there was no BBQ to give the girls a break from cooking!

Breathing space for a few days
Very quiet and comfortable with relaxing sea views. Just what was needed. ps. contact with the property manager was immediate when unforeseen power continued to be out after planned maintenance, which we were advised of. Very professional. Not the property issue. Happy.

Wonder view and great apartment
We had a fabulous time. The apartment met all our needs and the extra bathroom and toilet just outside the backdoor was a bonus. No noisy neighbours and it was a real holiday with friends. Three of us sharing the bill for 3 nights made it affordable but I could not afford it as a single person or even 2 friends would be still out of my budget range. Loved the place and highly recommend it.
