Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious apartments at Q1, often highlighting the well-equipped kitchens with full-size appliances like large fridges, dishwashers, cooktops, and ovens, as well as the convenience of having laundry facilities including washing machines and dryers in the suite. The ocean views and proximity to the beach are also frequently mentioned as highlights, with the pool area being a popular spot; however, some have noted that blinds could be better at blocking out morning light. Secure and free undercover car parking adds to the positive experience, particularly for those with rental cars.

great stay!

clean apartment equipped kitchen free parking safe parking

I had such a great stay. i spent several nights in a two-bedroom apartment on a high floor, it was amazing! the apartment was super clean. It had everything i could have wanted. the kitchen was really well equipped with a large fridge, a dishwasher, a cooktop, and an oven. car parking was free, undercover, and safe, an added bonus for my rental car.

the blinds weren't amazing at blocking out the morning sun, especially if you are a light sleeper, but it was ok, i managed to sleep anyway!

mixed feelings indeed

stained countertops broken dryer

the location was close to everything i needed. the pools were also acceptable.

the bed was like sleeping on a rock and the apartment showed its age. countertops had chips and stains, not a good look. the dryer broke while i was using it and i suspect it was poorly repaired before.

adequate, but issues noted

poor shower design loose sheet

the location proved acceptable for my needs.

The shower was poorly designed. the outlet could not be adjusted properly, directing water straight into one's face. It was difficult to stand under. my supposed king bed consisted of two single beds pushed together, with ill-fitting bedding. the bottom sheet was not fitted. It was merely a loose sheet and would not stay in place.

I found some issues with the shower. It was difficult to adjust. water went straight into my face. the bed, advertised as a king, was just two singles pushed together. the bedding didn't fit properly, the bottom sheet wasn't fitted and kept coming off. the bed and shower, two essential things, were not up to par.
