There is only one reason that my overall rating is not Terrible, and that's because I've just come back from having a very good time in Surfers. Firstly, the Pros: 1. Location - great, and relatively quiet. Nice view over the water. 2. Apartment Size - again great and with a decent balcony. 3. Pool - I didn't use it... More

We were a pretty horrified with the state of our room when we arrived here. Presumably there is a fair amount of variation in the rooms as they are individually owned, but the comparison between the example pictures on the website and what we ended up with was ridiculous. We had booked a deluxe room, and each time we discovered... More
