Wonderful apartment / hotel for a family of 4! 2 bed /2 bath, kitchen, laundry, wish we had a few more days. We stayed at 5 different hotels over a 18 day trip and this was by far the nicest of the 4/5 star locations be booked.

Loved the elegant but relaxed beach style. Warm and friendly staff were a stand out in this surprising gem with views over the national park. I loved the short walk to beach and village center.

Great new hotel that is so refreshing, elegant and eco friendly designed. A 5 star establishment and a credit to its owner and his team. The larger pool was absolutely amazing and so warm that you can swim in it anytime of the year. One of the best I have stayed at. I strongly recommend it. You will love it!

Fantastic new and clean rooms, beautiful designed and set out. Staff are great. The only downfall is no buffet breakfast which is usually a favourite of ours. However there is an amazing restaurant walking distance for breakfast. Overall would definitely stay again.

Beautifully styled rooms, but you can tell the developer wanted a hotel in their portfolio, but likely has no hotel experience. The hotel website is an over-sell on the reality of the experience. It’s not a bad hotel, but work is needed to live up to its promises. The soundproofing is not great: exposed concrete ceilings = noise travelling from above. It’s baffling that they didn’t build an entrance to the hotel: car park entrance = not the best first impression. The promise of a pool bar was not the experience offered - in fact, we were made to feel like an inconvenience every time we wanted to spend money buying drinks.

The staff were so friendly and nice. The premise was clean and new, although it could be a bit cleaner.
The building has some issues, like the door to our room was hard to open/close and stuck from the top.
The room equipment was good, although I wish there was toothpaste and some more options.

We stayed at essence over the new year period. It was not unusual for temperatures to exceed 30 degrees. In spite of this, every time we opened a door to access the verandah, or left the apartment for more than 20 minutes the air conditioning in the room automatically turned off. We made the staff aware of this but they said it was how the system was set up and could not be changed. When returning to the room from visiting the beach it was unbearably hot and took a considerable amount of time to cool down especially with no fans in the apartment to assist with air flow.
The pools were very small for the number of visitors, much smaller than you would expect for the price and the pictures on the website. It was not pleasant to swim with people practically on top of each other.
Although there was a kitchen, there was only the bare minimum of kitchen equipment. An oven but no baking trays etc to use, one small saucepan and a small frypan. It made the kitchen more or less unusually other than the microwave and kettle.
There was a large fridge but it was completely stacked with minibar items leaving very little room for us to store our own food. The only thing the staff were attentive with was asking us everyday if the minibar needed restocking! There was also no vacuum or broom in the apartment, even when we asked for one, so there was often quite a lot of sand on the floor from returning from the beach.
The view was lovely but there are no ocean views from this accommodation
