We stayed here for 3 nights to see the turtles which is a must see as far as I am concerned! BUT book in advance as you definately do want to be in group 1!!! And take wet weather gear with you as you will be on an unsheltered beach for a long time. We had a nice comfortable stay at these units that are close to a sand beach and have pleasant walks in either direction. The location is unbeatable but in general I thought the units themselves could have been a bit better. Maybe I am being picky but I don't particularly want to see dust on furniture or dirty hand prints on the patio doors and shower screens.
In short:
Pros-great location across from the ocean, close to shops and restaurants, short drive to supermarket, Bundie city, Mon Repos for the turtles,undercover security parking, modern and comfortable apartments, comfortable beds, quiet apart from kids using pool which is only to be expected.
Cons-level of cleanliness not so great, no screens/security doors on patio sliders so not able to leave doors open for fresh air at night and AC fairly noisy, the oven incinerated everything even at 50 degrees and the slightest bit of steam in kitchen set smoke alarms off.
Overall a nice place to stay but with the small issues above sorted it would be a fantastic place to stay.

Hello to The Sprouts, The turtles are indeed fabulous and a 'must see'. C Bargara is, as you say, close to a great sand beach and pleasant walks - you can even walk to Mon Repos Beach via a bush track and beach...just beautiful. New onsite managers are in place since your visit and the housekeeping has been addressed and will continue to be monitored. So as you put it, the small issues are being sorted.
Just on the smoke detector, they have a job to do, and I hate the sound they make, but they are vital equipment in any building.
Kind regards
