Disappointed stay

Unable to connect tv to Wi-Fi and staff couldn't help either. Apartment has very noisy flooring. Some improvements attempted with tiling, but lipstick on a pig. Shower very small and mouldy. Location good but couldn't recommend.

Mariners Cove has been our favourite holiday destination on every one of our anniversaries for 31 years. Hopefully there will be more stays. The rooms are so well appointed and the view from the private terrace thrills us every time. Such a wonderful place!
