We a good stay at Lily Sands. Very good location. Unfortunately, the TV did not work, the Air-conditioner made a huge noise and the shower curtain was not sufficient to keep the bathroom floor dry. It started raining during the night, which caused the tree next to the window to slam it's branches onto the walls and window f the building. Very scary noise. Did not sleep well.

This property was close to our sport venue so ideal location. Unfortunately beds were not correct according to our booking and couldn’t be rectified in time for our sleep. This affected our comfort and purpose for stay. Disappointing

It was fine. I would love loved to stay in a room on the 1st floor as I could hear people walking up and down the stairs all night.
