Excellent property ! Some small cosmetic improvements would be good! eg. little paintwork here and there, fix main bathroom glass door, cover plates on some powerpoints, light above heater unit in living room ! None of these would stop us staying in room 269 again though ! Very good place for a holiday !!

The best thing about this property is the ocean view, the beach view was amazing. Inside has the potential to be nice if it was better maintained. There was a screw on the kitchen floor when we arrived, the bathroom door in the king bed bedroom was out of order and there was either chest hairs or pubic hairs on the ceiling in the main bathroom which was a bit unsettling. Topped off with no WIFI available when I rang and was told that they should have it only to ring on our trip with no recollection of the call and say they will be installing it the next day only to cancel it at the end of the day which made my sisters husbands business calls and work that much more difficult. Lastly, parking is not the best there, for a 3 bedroom apartment they only allocate one car park so it was disappointing and stressful trying to find another park for my other car as all the street parking is only 1-2 hours paid parking during the day until 7pm so during the day you need to find a reasonably priced parking lot which is a few blocks away. Overall, we didn’t let these setback ruin our trip but would not come back for another holiday at The Moroccan.

Hi Bianca, Thank you for your review. When you booked the apartment it was advertised as no wifi. We are at the moment installing wifi. I am sorry it was not available at the time of your stay, but it has been very difficult getting fast internet in this resort and we didn't want to be supplying slow internet to our guests. But as I said, when you booked your apartment 6 months ago it was advertised as No Wifi available. In regards to there only been one parking spot, every apartment in this resort has just one parking spot. For guests that bring more than one car there is parking available in the resort next door for a small fee. I believe they actually do it very cheaply. But unfortunately all owners of apartments in this resort only own one car spot hence that is all we can allocate to the guests. In regards to the bathroom door in the king bedroom been out of order I am not sure what you mean. I have asked Maitenance to go up and have a look this morning though to see if we can work out what you were referring to. Thank you for taking the time to write a review we really appreciate all feedback. We love to get all 5 star reviews and the only way to do that is to take on board all reviews and make sure we are doing everything in our power to address any concerns a guest may have. Thanks again.

Nice enough but wasn’t ideal for my family
We stayed in apartment 224 and was expecting a bit more for the price. It’s quite dated and not well maintained. It’s in a great location to walk to the beach but the ‘ocean view’ is only from the main bedroom or if you’re out on the balcony. Mainly you’re just looking at the surrounding buildings. The most surprising thing was the noise. It’s constant. If you’re in the second bedroom you have to keep the window closed at all times as you are directly above an old roller door leading to the carpark. It goes up and down continuously, including all night. People staying in the other tower use it as a thoroughfare instead of walking around. There was also tree loping, gurneying, scooters honking etc. It would be fine for friends or couples but with a young family, it wasn’t ideal. On a positive note, the two pools and spa were wonderful and it’s an easy walk to lots of restaurants and shops.

Response from Tim on 17 Feb,2019
Thank you for the detailed review. The 2 pools and spa are great in this resort and even the outdoor pool is heated as well. You can't get much more central so it is an ideal location to get to shops and restaurants. The downside of been so central is the extra noise from traffic etc,.,., As everyone wants to stay as central as possible it is quite busy. But we find this resort great as it is directly across the road from the beach and is just far enough away from the night clubs etc,.,. to not have that noise going all night. When you book you get to choose the exact apartment. Just look at the photos of the apartment before you select the one you like, as that is the apartment you will get. 224 is usually our cheapest apartment so does not have as good views as most of the other 3 bedroom apartments. I will send your review to the body corp, who are responsible for the roller door you were talking about. Hopefully they will be able to address your concerns for it. Thanks again for your review, we really appreciate the feedback.

Lovely property. Need to watch children on the balconies that surround the rooms, however fantastic views in most directions. Large 3 bedroom apartment with good quality appliances, comfortable beds and most comforts of home. Property doesn't supply toiletries and minimal cleaning products. Also, no beach towels are provided. Great that they provide car parking, however most spaces are very tight. Highly recommended.

Hi Anonymous, I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay. Your apartment that you chose, was not advertised as having wifi. Unfortunately at this stage the only wifi available in your apartment would be ADSL which is too slow, and we would get too many complaints so we made the decision that until we are able to offer fast internet it is better to not advertise as having it. The apartments however have Foxtel premium so you would have lots of channels to choose from, so I am not sure about that. If you had notified our office that there was a problem with the washing machine or dryer then we would have been up to rectify it. I would love to have looked into this more but unfortunately you have not given me any details to know the dates you stayed, your apartment number etc,. We would like all our guests to be happy, and take any complaints very seriously, so I would have loved to have the opportunity to find out exactly what happened and what we could do better to improve.

Awesome property, good size, modern decor and great views. Fully air condioned. However The dryer was pathetic with only a 4kg capacity. This made it hard to dry towels as it wouldn’t go with anymore than 3 towels in there. It would often stop and have to be restarted which is a pain when you only have 6 towels between 5 guests. Was faster to dry over the back of a chair overnight. The clothes so r rack was rusty so could not use and there was no laundry basket. The property was only surface clean with build up around the shower edge, dust on some surfaces and under the mat had not been cleaned for sometime. The tv remote was found down the side of the couch along with lollies, food crumbs and a dollar in coins. The upstand on the kitchen which has a hi-gloss white finish was smeared with gross finger print presumably from kids. Aside from this it truly was a great property in a great location, handy to all amenities and food.

Thank you for the review. The apartment you booked was not advertised with Wifi. There is only a handful of apartments in this resort with wifi as some can only have ADSL wifi which is too slow. When they are able to have the faster internet we will connect those apartments as well. We understand internet is important for people so as soon as we can access fast internet for these apartments we will. We just don't want slow internet which is unreliable.

Thanks Shelley. Once again we apologise for the inconvenience that there was a problem with one toilet in the apartment during your stay. It has obviously been fixed but we do apologise for the inconvenience. We will work hard to make sure this doesn't happen again. Usually we order parts of everything in and have spares just in case. But that apartment had its bathroom renovated a year ago and they put in a new toilet system which we didn't have the parts for. My Apologies.

Great view. Good apartment. Lots of cockroaches
Hi team, When we walked in we were very impressed with the property. Location, view, interior set up all were amazing. However, throughout out stay we found lots of cockroaches all over the apartment. I killed about 4 of them on our last day and left them on the floor for proof. While I loved everything else about the apartment, this was a major concern. Management needs to look into this and get a pest control done asap.

Best view right across from the surf patrol flags
Firstly the room isn't kid friendly, alot of sharp corners and breakables. If your an early riser you'll be greeted by the sun rise waking you up. Noise is a minimum but being on level 5 expect some vehicle, drunks and the ocean too keep you occupied at bed time. 3 x balconies, 2 are unusual as the heat from the air conditioning unit is unbearable. Turn them off and it's fine. Otherwise your confined to the smaller of the three. Plenty of room, an extra TV would be nice during nights in although there is free WiFi. theres a spa, kids pool and large pool on ground floor or you can visit the larger pools in the building adjacent. The people who own apartments in the complex are nice too meet. The place was very clean on arrival. The lifts broke down a couple of times. The speakers in the TV are very ordinary, I would say from guests playing loud music. I liked being on level 5 opposed to higher as it feels like you can soak up the atmosphere. Underground parking is great. no hassle from hotel staff. We will stay again. It's very expensive.

Hi, not sure which apartment etc,., you stayed in as you left an anonymous review, but we usually get excellent reviews especially for our cleaning. In regards to the air conditioners not working we did have one apartment that the air conditioning broke down in over this period and the guests were all moved to another apartment and all forward bookings also moved to other apartments until the owner installed 3 brand new air conditioners so I am a little confused with this comment. But if you have any concerns when staying with us please contact us as soon as possible during your stay and we will always do our best to rectify.
